Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 914921, member: 405"] I know some people give me a hard time about when I suggest that I know a fair amount about evaluating HS basketball talent, but spending a lot of time with people who actually do the evaluating is the easiest way to learn what they are looking for in a player. Hours spent in a gym with coaches and journalists (where you've got hours of time and can't help but talk to the guy next to you ...) tells you what players are making the biggest impression and why. It teaches what to look for in those AAU games that have so little structure to them. You come to really appreciate the guy who tries to play in a team concept, and isn't just a one-on-one player trying to earn a scholarship. [/QUOTE]
