Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3220545, member: 1220"] I don't believe AAU is showcasing itself for 3x3 play, rather obtain a college scholarship to play on their 5x5 teams. They are an entirely different game. They do not necessarily translate well to each other. Unless college teams begin to start having actual 3x3 teams and handing out scholarships I don't see that happening. Now with it becoming an Olympic sport, we might see that happening over time. Good coaches do not just look for players with individual skills, but players who can integrate those skills into a team (5x5) concept. Most players,, due to personal trainers and the present year-round emphasis, already have those skills developed. This is why programs that excel in personal development are not in as great a demand anymore. What is developed more in college is the integration of those pesonal skills into a team concept. [/QUOTE]
