INDIANAPOLIS — It took Dan Hurley within only a few hours of officially meeting Silas Demary Jr. to know he was the point guard the Huskies needed to get back to playing into April.
Demary, a transfer from Georgia who was one of the most touted point guards in the transfer portal, checked a lot of the basketball boxes that Hurley wanted. He was a bigger guard, like former UConn two-time champion Tristen Newton, and could make shots and run a team. But it wasn’t a workout or a film study that officially stamped the North Carolina native as the guy Hurley wanted to be his floor general.
