PG Alterique Gilbert (McDonald's All-American)

[caw]

Dx scouting report in October: "Good not great shooter. Holds onto the ball for too long at times. Career 33% 3-point shooter"

This is in line with most of what I've read on him, but it's definitely believable he's improved this year from 3 too. He doesn't really have the stroke of a pure shooter in my opinion (kind of short arms it like Kemba really). He's going to be a menace between changing speeds and drawing fouls anyway though. A steadily improving jumper is gravy.

His junior year in high school he shot something like 45%+ from three. The only thing I can think of in terms of career would be AAU career at 33%.

I doubt these stats are accurate but thought I'd pass along anyway. Here are his shooting percentages by year. He's shooting 59% overall, 42% from three, and 75% free throw.

I tend not to trust these numbers because they show 54% from 3 last year, 53% the year before and 60% his freshman year, which if true would be absurd.

The team has played 15 games, or more, this year. So they may not be full, but they look correct. Ask his coach, I'm sure he would know and might answer, I don't do Twitter.

I hope he short-arms it like Kemba!

Here's a good mixtape of Alterique. People think he's small, check out his teammate dishing to him at the :40 mark, wow.
