I find it tough to really evaluate players in AAU events. We were just at an event with an Indy circuit team filled with talent but they played so poorly together that it is hard for me to figure out how they project style wise and position wise when they hit college. Then the team that beat them maybe has one division 1 prospect but they won because they played great team basketball. Again though, how do you pick the best prospect when they had 6 guys score between 8 and 14 points?
Add in the style of play with all the turnovers and easy fast breaks, how do you really get a read on how a player plays in a half court offense. We put up 63 pts and about 40 were off of turnovers and lay ups. It didn’t tell me much about how we actually played in that game and who played well.
Some players are physically so special or just have that special skill that it’s obvious how good they will be. But after maybe the top 25, I don’t know how you really separate them out and rank them.
