Mucj different player than daniels. I'd argue higher ceiling because of his better perimeter game.

Both lack elite athleticism. Some writer said jaiden had hops and I was surprised. That's his biggest weakness

Well now, maybe you should get up earlier to look for people to insult so you'll have more time before you go off to do whatever you do. Or maybe you should focus on more important things than imagining peoples' motives and start thinking about what you're saying.

"The key here" is how much you appear to consider
yourself superior to people you know nothing about. Maybe you should try psychoanalyzing yourself before you make condescending assumptions about the motivations of others.

I've been polite to people when commenting on this board and "often wondered" why there are a few people that act like jerks, but you set a new standard with your holier than thou comments about parodies and imparting sinister motives to an innocent question about whether coaches care about the players as whole beings with futures they can positively impact, as Edsall seems to, or if they are looking at a kid as a meal ticket and nothing more.

So, why don't you look in the mirror, get past the image of suffocating pomposity staring back at you, and consider the possibility that others may be uneducated and naive about the world of AAU, big contracts and coaches with other than the best interests of the players as their primary motivation.

Generally,I get a kick out of Hans. But in this case, I have no idea why he came at you so hard

Athleticism shouldn't be a problem.

That photo angle is misleading. Athleticism and ballhandling are 100% the knocks on him as a player. Needs some weight too. I know that for a fact.

Hes a solid shooter, good IQ, and obviously great size. Still growing.

Pm me if you want info on him

I met DeLaire when Simsbury played Granby High an eternity ago before multiple cataract surgeries. He was a Freshman. After the game DeLaire and a group of us went to Antonios in Simsbury for Pizza. Antonios is very old school and Jaiden was like "What do they play on that Juke box...the Gap Band?" LOL

It was my job to trying and keep an eye on the older folk trying to act to cool. I failed.

Anyways..carry on. Thanks for the great pic.

Sincerely Always & Forever,
The BDH

My last look in the mirror yielded a view of some uneven beard hairs, a couple forehead patches where my recent shingles outbreak hasn't fully healed, and an overall sense of self-acceptance.

Maybe I've read @Scrutiner"s last couple posts incorrectly, but my intuitive sense was that he might have been going for a gadfly's take, and this one felt out of place in a thread - one of several in process - devoted to a particular player. I could be wrong.

You are very wrong because I'm just a novice here and didn't realize people seem to be lying in wait to twist and/or ridicule an innocent observation or an honest question.

My problem, I guess, and it all started with my failure to properly spell my moniker when I registered. It was supposed to be Scrutineer in reference to how I study things in depth and try to understand how things work. Thus the questions I ask.

That said, I guess I'd better pack up all my erudite observations and wit and go over to KeaneyBlue where the winners are.

I certainly don't mind admitting that I may have misread you, but your final paragraph continues an odd impression that may be softening but hasn't evaporated completely.
Even though you are registering objection to my initial skepticism and response, again you're closing with a bit of a zigzag that speaks to the board more broadly and here, out of the blue, references URI in a knowing reference.
To me, self-suggested and apologetic naivete doesn't pair often (or well) with self-claimed erudite observations and wit.
But yeah, I could be wrong in following my own scrutinering impulses.

They seem like decent folk Fishy how about a simple punch in the throat initially and if they don't respond the wood chipper it is?

As I've said before, my wife warns me that my attempts at humor and sarcasm don't always translate in writing as people can't see my facial expressions.

The last paragraph was meant to poke fun at how this whole discussion has evolved by saying in essence that "I'm picking up my toys and leaving". KeaneyBlue came in because others here have commented on the angst present on that site and it seemed to be an apt destination for a malcontent.

I have nothing more to say on this issue because I fear being throat punched.

Did he see himself committing to UConn in the Antonios magic 8 ball?

Throatpunching is overrated, the woodchipper is not.

To the extent that I've wondered about you, it's been about whether you're possibly a journalist being disingenuously "Aw shucks" folksy like Roy Williams. If you're not, that's fine by me, and I offer apologies for coming on too strong. If you are, then I'd prefer disclosure and was willing to press the issue a bit, but it's no huge upset to me, and clearly isn't to others in this thread.

Maybe I got too influenced by @Stainmaster wondering what some guy's handle is or @JMick's suggestion of site-wide PTSD. We weren't playing "Here Comes the Sun" last spring. HT to @fleudslipcon.

Overall, I'm liking the recent string of good news, including today's NLIs, and I'd like to see Hurley & crew recruit good players who fit well (academics, basketball, character, development) for 2019.
 
This kid is going to absolutely blow up this spring/summer. He got way better since last year. Tonight he was beating smaller quick guards off the dribble on the perimeter and staying in front of them of defense. Lateral quickness greatly improved, playing much more under control.
