Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 3480841, member: 181"] Different times, different competition, different teammates, but Alex's junior year drop-off, at least without Advanced Stats (which are too advanced for me), was pretty similar to Josh's. Alex disappointed because he was a McD's AA, and Josh because he was AAC's Most Improved Player as this season began. In 2011-12, I yelled at the TV every time Alex spun around and seemingly threw the ball in the direction of the basketball as though shots actually going through the net were a matter of happenstance. This does not add up to a candidate for most underrated player. But he was indispensable and very valuable during those magical weeks. I still hope for Josh to go back to not putting the ball reflexively onto the floor, and to go up stronger and/or with sure-handed shots & jams rather than tips & taps. For Alex at the end of his junior year, I retained no hope of change. [/QUOTE]
