Would just like to see things trend in a good direction for Aidan and see where it goes. It’s a long season. A couple made buckets or good plays/good reads. He passed on a wide open look to get Alex a three when Alex was cooking and I was hopeful that was the start of a good sequence. But then he missed badly on a corner three and came out. I almost think if he can make a shot clock buzzer beater or something (where he has to force a shot), he can maybe get that feeling going. But he’s rudderless at the moment - sometimes guys make 90 percent of the play and don’t finish the shot or pass, but you know those things will come. Aidan’s just not even getting into positions to make plays or shots right now. Whether he’s a 1 or a 2, he needs to come off screens or beat his man and be a threat.
We have seen this before. It’s been mentioned enough that Newton was scuffling for a long time in Big East play, but it wasn’t just him. Alleyne was a disappointment for a while. Then he became a good bench scorer. It’s forgotten now, but Castle looked kind of inept on offense for a while off his injury until he broke out against Providence. Going back a couple years, but RJ Cole needed a month before he looked the part. Cam adjusted right away but had the pieces around him to make him a perfect fit. Every situation is a little different and ideally for us Aidan would be more of a dude right now so that Liam and Solo could have more time to settle in and find their way.
