You obviously only consider points scored as important. AJ had to deal with guards looking for their shot and no desire to pass to him unless they couldn't get a shot off. He did a great job in running the options of the offense. He did an outstanding job of getting his hands on balls on D and many other things.You are probably one of the guys that felt Cassius Winston would not make 1st team All Big Ten while he was Player of the Year and 1st team All American.
I guess I'm probably that guy then. Like I said, it's semantics on how you want to take my comments.
I pointed out 1)Points, 2) Rebounds, 3)Assists and 4)Shooting percentage.
Those are measurables. Numbers are the only way to measure productivity.
You threw in the fact that his teammates didn't want to pass him the ball? Validate that. Prove that to me. Then, the amount of balls he touched on defense. How many steals per game did he have? That's a measurable.
Please don't put AJ in the same book as Cassius Winston. That's silly and you should probably stop.
What you're talking about is intangibles and I don't disagree with you.
As I said....his productivity can be replaced, his leadership, attitude and work ethic....much tougher.
This is an 11-20 basketball team. For them to be a 20-11 basketball team, they need more from that position. It's a fact that you may not like, but it's true.
AGAIN, nobody is questioning his intangibles. That was the basis of my initial response.
