Transfer point guard Silas Demary is apparently not there yet. From post game presser last night
Following No. 3 UConn’s 89-62 rout of Columbia Monday night, Hurley went on a riff about how he and Demary have a “contentious relationship” that will “grow throughout his career.”
“Our relationship will grow throughout the year, throughout his career, like it did with Tristen [Newton],” Hurley, the Jersey City native and former Seton Hall guard,
told reporters of his former star point guard now playing for the Iowa Wolves in the NBA G League. “We’re in the stage of me being on his ass right now about everything, literally every possession, every decision, everything that comes out, everything he says, everything he does, his facial expressions, his body language, his decision making, his violence getting over the top of screens, his ball-screen defense, the way he leads, the way he directs.
“I mean, you know, it’s a contentious relationship, because we’re trying to mold him into a quarterback, like a real elite level quarterback, like an All-American level quarterback, one of the best point guards in the country, an NBA player, a national champion. So that process is, it’s hard to get there, but yeah, our relationship will grow throughout the year as he continues to develop, and the player that we need him to be.”
Against Columbia, the Georgia transfer had 5 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and one turnover.
