Thats just a really silly statement. Jalen has been first and second team all aac and Alterique has played like 10 college games. I think Alterique will be a very good player, but he isnt conference player of the year status. Could he be in a year or two, certainly.
I don't think the fact that he's only played 10 games has anything to do with how good AG is or can be. He is an elite defender (something that JA is not). He may not score as many points as JA, but at the end of the day he may have a higher +/- than Adams. He totally disrupts ball handlers on the defensive end, something which we have not seen since Boatright and Shabazz in the 2014 run in March. You cannot underestimate how much that impacts the outcome of games. As soon as he went down last year our defense dropped off a cliff.
