The original post you directed towards me is that my statement about experience was BS.

If anything this thread about Gaffney demonstrates that experience is an important component in development along with skill and maturation.

Jalen Gaffney was a better high school player than any of the St. Peter freshman but an argument could be made he didn’t play better than any of them. Perhaps it’s the result of them getting more playing time prior to this game.

Practice is important in development but just as important is getting minutes in games.

Alterique has had 3 years beginning his senior year in high school where he was not playing competitive ball.  He played last year but did a lot of adjustment in his play to avoid reinjuring his shoulder.  Is it possible his shot mechanics  are off because he’s readjusting once again from his last surgery?

Early in the season last year Alterique was the starting point guard but Hurley made the decision to give the majority of point guard minutes to Jalen.

You may conclude it’s bad judgment on his part for his shooting slump and his play.  That’s not unreasonable.  What is unreasonable is dismissing other possibilities that are equally reasonable.
