Not performance/ranking related, but I thought it'd be prudent to wish Alterique a happy birthday. A great kid and a great player, soon to be a great Husky. Aren't we all lucky that his next birthday will be celebrated in Storrs!

So wouldn't that mean he's going to get a bump in the next ranking update? I keep reading all this great stuff about him and wonder if he's ranked too low. This is a very deep class of point guards so even where he is currently ranked is pretty good.

He committed to us. You know what's going to happen with his ranking.

I would think you are correct.
 
Alterique Gilbert, 5-11, PG, Norcross, GA, Class of 2016

Mike Schmitz

Strengths
  • Strong build (181 pounds) despite not possessing great size
  • Very good athlete who can play above the rim at times despite his size
  • Polished ball handler. Able to find a nice blend between scoring and playmaking.
  • Good vision and creativity out of pick and roll. Able to hit the weak side shooter, hesitate and find the roll man in stride, or get into the teeth of the defense and drop it off to a big at the rim. Delivers passes from different angles.
  • Streaky but is a shot maker with considerable range (2.2 made 3s per-40). Best pulling up off the bounce. Loves the quick jumper in transition. Gets great elevation.
  • Uses his quickness, handle, and ability to play at different speeds to get in the lane. Nice touch on his floater. Doesn't shy away from contact in the lane. Gets to the free throw line at a tremendous rate (career 7.5 per-40 in 44 DX database games)
  • Can be a very pesky defender when he wants to be thanks to his strength and quickness. Plays with toughness. 2.3 steals per-40.

Weaknesses
  • Really lacks great size or length at 5'10 1/2” in shoes, with a 6' 0.5” wingspan
  • Very capable playmaker but doesn't always want to make the simple play.
  • Size limits his vision at times. Has a tendency to kill his dribble too quickly versus pressure. Picks it up and waits a split second for something to develop.
  • Good not great shooter. Holds onto the ball for too long at times. Career 33% 3-point shooter
  • Made a conscious effort to get others involved but isn't afraid to start getting jumpers up if he sees one go down.
  • Explosiveness and build help him around the rim but he still struggles versus length given his size. 46.5% career 2-point shooter already in high school

Outlook

The UConn commit didn't quite fill it up like he did the last time we saw him at Nike Global Challenge (27.5 points per 40 pace), but he proved his merit as a distributor while still putting enough pressure on the defense as a scorer. Although undersized, Gilbert is a tough competitor who provides a nice balance between scoring and playmaking while harassing opposing point guards on the defensive end. Gilbert's upside is a bit limited at 5' 11” but he'll most certainly turn in a productive career as a Husky, especially playing next to 2015 guard Jalen Adams. He was lauded by USA Basketball staff members for his work ethic and insistence on getting in early every morning to get extra work in.

more from @OntheRadarHoops


Alterique Gilbert came into camp with a point to prove and he did just that. The UCONN bound guard does a good job of handling the break as he pushes the ball coast to coast with a speed dribble or will look up to advance the ball with the pass. This scoring point guard can take it all the way to the rim and score or make the pass from his penetration to an open teammate.

Would be great if landed on the 19 usa team or @ nike hoop summit. PG position is just crazy deep in '16

4 years of an impact point guard sounds good to me.
 
sounds nothing like bazz to me. AG is a compact guard with crazy athleticism, bazz was a cerebral scorer with great instincts and a better frame. Pierre jackson comp is pretty legit, or if you want to run wild ty lawson (who gilbert compared himself to in that DX interview)
 
Sounds like the knocks on him are size and shooting. If he improves his shooting, watch out. We've seen what undersized guards can do. Speed can get away from length.
 
Where is DX getting those 3point % from? Are those EYBL stats because his HS numbers are considerably higher.

I think he's trying to say he's a chucker if he sees his first shot go down. Just speculating, his phrasing is terrible.

AG fits our system so well. Can't WAIT to see this kid in a uconn uniform playing along-side Adams!
