UConn freshman guard Jalen Adams knows he is following in the footsteps of many great guards by playing for the Huskies.
Of course, there is one iconic UConn guard who comes to mind when talking about Adams, a native of Roxbury, Massachusetts.
"It's unreal, knowing a kid from my neighborhood—Shabazz Napier, he's from Roxbury—it's crazy knowing the things he did up here," Adams said when he met the media for the first time Tuesday.
The things Napier did were indeed crazy. He ranks fourth in UConn history with 1,959 points. His 260 3-pointers are second all time.
