As it panned out, Aaliyah was under-ranked, but 97 is a very high scouting grade.Someone in another thread mentioned Aaliyah wasn’t highly ranked coming out of high school and it made me wonder what she was ranked. She was #23. Check out this HoopGurlz evaluation. How accurate is this?

With exception of Canada, foreign players are not in our ranking systems at all. Geno has to go himself to Croatia to find kids who never foul.It seems to me that the foreign players are often under valued in the rankings.
Hard to say how accurate since Olson thought he was grading a Wing. She still doesn’t have the ballhandling or passing skills of a Wing since she’s never played it. She’s a 4/PF. And it’s interesting that he went from her being “ultra athletic with off the charts potential” in 2018 to “athletic with versatility” in 2019. After one season he wasn’t as impressed. Part of why I don’t take these rankings too seriously.Someone in another thread mentioned Aaliyah wasn’t highly ranked coming out of high school and it made me wonder what she was ranked.

Yet, she was considered the third best wing in her class. People need to take the assessments with a grain of saltHard to say how accurate since Olson thought he was grading a Wing.
