Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 4214229, member: 364"] Last time we discussed Andre, I looked up his offense stats both at Albany Academy and with the AAU team City Rocks. His FG% in high school was 69%; his AAU percentage was 68%. Tells you a lot. He was so dominant and quick that his usual scoring (always high teens) was layups and dunks. His 3 point percentage was also decent; but we have seen that set shot enough. Net Net - he started with a better toolkit than a Dennis Rodman or others we can imagine in the mode. I know he is a worker. And yes, we all should agree: he has a great basketball IQ. We should see advances in his offense and touch over the next 2 years. I do think going strong to the hoop is the first thing you whisper to him at the start of every game. Dunk; or take contact to finish. [/QUOTE]
