Top 20 Lead Guards in NCAA - The Athetlic

[Hey Adrien!]

Jalen Adams is #15.

Top 20 lead guards: Depth dominates with elite scorers...

Since it's a paywall site, here's my paraphrase:

Might be the most talented player in the AAC, but he's played meh teams the last two seasons. Ollie didn't know how to coach offense, so should trend up this year with Hurley, especially with his efficiency. Gets high marks for being so clutch.

"he's played on not good teams the last two seasons"

Is that the correct grammar?

"he's played on not good teams the last two seasons"

Is that the correct grammar?

Not good.

"he's played on not good teams the last two seasons"

Is that the correct grammar?

The grammatically correct adjective is "double-ungood". Or "sucky."

Good to finally see him on one of these lists. Nice to know someone is paying attention.

Now if they could just get him to adhere to team rules then they'd be on their way.

Most of the articles on the Athletic are really good and top notch. It's better to see JA on a list from the Athletic, instead of him not being on a list made by a 12 year old.

*How to coach

He had some excellent defensive teams. Even with senior Shabazz, Boatright, Daniels, and outrageous Giffey shooting we were merely good on offense. But excellent defensively.

College Basketball’s Best Lead Guards
7. JALEN ADAMS, UConn, Sr.
One of the lone bright spots for the Huskies the past few seasons, the 6-foot-3 Adams has a chance to leave the program on a high note this season. A do-it-all guard who can score or make plays for others, Adams can put up flurries of points with the best of them.

Adams had eight 20-point games in the American last season and also dropped 20-plus on quality teams like Arkansas, Michigan State and Syracuse. While Adams hasn’t had the most desirable of field percentages during his career, he also hasn’t had the most consistent amount of help. If Adams improves efficiency and gets a little more help, then the Huskies could surprise this season.
