Beal is a dominant rebounder man, he just tracks the ball. Had an impressive offensive rebound there in traffic.

Beal is killing it right now - 10 pts, 6 rebs, 3-4 FGs, 1-2 3pt FGs, 3-3 FTs, 2 AST, BLK at the half.

You forgot the other role they have at UNC. To stay on the floor for a crowd charge, while they are abandoned by Roy Williams and the scholarship players.

9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Yeah, to me, in terms of wing players, it's Barnes or Beal. Lamb and MKG are no slouches, but I feel Barnes and Beal are just advanced, mature players who'd fit this team the best, in terms of the way they play the game.

Beal is just flat out playing outstanding ball. Just stole an inbounds pass, and then on the other end, hit a 3.

He's got 13 pts (4-5 FGs, 2-3 3pt FGs) 7 rebs, 3 asts, 1 BLK, 1 STL up to this point still early in the 2nd half.

Only negative for Beal is his height. Will be interesting to get the exact measurements for wingspan, vertical, etc.
Would be tough rolling with a 6-3 shooting guard, assuming he measures out.

Beal has that LeBron/Carmelo type build. Rock solid frame.

Serious question, how does UCONN keep losing witb two prospect projected to be drafted in the "top 5"? I know Drummond is raw and Lamb needs years under his belt to get better, but seriously these two talents alone can win more games then they're right now.

A chasedown block, LeBron or Kyrie esque, by Beal. He does have 6 TOs though.

And to cap a great performance, Beal breaks down his man, does a little euro-step, and converts on an AND-1. 21 pts on 8 shots, 8 FTAs, 9 boards, 3 asts, 2 blks, 2 stls
