Alterique Gilbert plays on ESPNU

[80shusky]

Wigginton looks like a nice player also. First time I have seen him play.

Miller Grove kind of folding as they are taking quick shots and not getting the ball to AG. AG needs to be more aggressive now and call for the ball.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

That was not a blocking foul

He just had a bad turnover. But that blocking call was bogus. Should have been a no call.

 

[ctchamps]

Now we'll find out if AG has clutch in him.

 

[imno1]

The refs getting AG ready for UConn by not calling and 1 fouls

 

[Dogbreath2U]

AG should drive and dish.

 

[ctchamps]

AG should drive and dish.

He looks gassed.

 

[JSM1970]

I like him a lot but he has no perimeter game at all, I've seen multiple airball 3s

And a long release

 

[Dogbreath2U]

One last chance, down 1 ... go....noooooooooooooooo . Legs betrayed him at the end on that 3.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I'm not sure why the coach doesn't have the ball in AG's hands more. Obviously he knows better than me, but everyone on the team was getting their shots blocked and just passing it around the perimeter, seems like AG was gassed though.

Yes he does, he's totally gassed. If you shoot over 50% from three in high school you have a perimeter game. Kid is going to be nasty at Uconn.

Yep

He's usually a great shooter, as evident by his shooting stats. Stop judging based on 2 games coming off 2 hours sleep

 

[mdkhusky]

If he's not Michael Jordan next year some will be disappointed considering Drummond was a no impact player

Based upon what I've seen of the kid and the fact that he shot 33% in AAU ball, I don't trust that 50% number.

I think Alterique is going to be very good, but I think he's going to have a Jalen-esque learning curve.

I'd settle for Jr. year Kemba. Is that too unrealistic?

 

[3rdbass]

Yep

I thought he didn't take the last shot? It looked like number 1 did.

Agree here. Hope I'm wrong, but 50% just sounds too good to be true.

He didn't, Augustin did, but he took the 3 before it that was short

Yeah he's not gonna be a killer 3 pt shooter, but didnt Jalen shoot something like 20% from 3? I think he is a better shooter than that. Jalen is a better passer though, it seems

Lol. Settle? That'd be fantastic. Hahahahaha. Settle ........

 

[Matrim55]

He pushed it to 28% by the end of the season by going 7-for-12 from 3 over the year's final 10 games (including the miracle vs. Cincy).

I don't think he became a better or luckier shooter down the stretch - I think he just took better shots. That was the issue for Hamilton and, to a lesser extent, Purvis as well.

My guess is Jalen shoots somewhere around 35% next year. That number will go higher if Alterique is able to take more of the load as PG, allowing Jalen to play off-the-ball and feast on kick-outs.

What have you seen of him?

I think he has better passing skills than jalen from seeing him the past 3 games . I think jalen will be the 2 and him the 1 as he has better handle form what I saw.
