I don’t think anyone on here cares who pleases who. But out of 15 lifetime messages you have 9 on this one subject alone. And when it comes to the subject matter we are speaking of a local kid who has come our special his freshman year. I mean you thought Jimmy was special, this part of his career he averaged 7pts. Bobby Hurley 8pts.
Then you say he shoots 20 shots a game, he actually averages close to 13.
And you say he needs improvement, well he shoots close to 46 percent from the field and close to 42 percent from the three and 75 percent from the line. Hurley 35/35/76 and Jimmy 40/33/85.
Lastly what I find hilarious is that it doesn’t take one to play at a high level to know the game. I quit my junior varsity year to work and a few years later after being an assistant at a high level program I was offered a scouting job with the Toronto Raptors. Probably because what some people miss, is it doesn’t take all the flash and athleticism to make it to the NBA. Somebody brought up Mark Madsen. Some people think Liangelo Ball should be in the NBA and has a shot. Mad dog would have tore him up.
So with that said there is a concept here. Smart kid, knows the game. Did anyone think Jeremy Lin ever had a shot. Biggest upset in high school state history, hell yeah he did cause he went to Harvard. Paid off for him and it shocked the world.
As for St Mary’s they have three current guys in the league. So in my personal opinion, one who has watched Klay Thompson while the know it alls at Arco behind the court who thought he had to be overrated since he was only going to WSU, Aidan is headed in the right direction and is off to a fantastic start, especially to a few guys who even you called special who did not have better numbers as freshman.
