Aminu plays like a walking valuum ! He is a space cadet ! Athleticism is JUST GREAT ! As long as you combine it with other aspects of your functioning anatomy ! Where is Miller !?
Aminu is on another planet !

Aminu actually had a good game..
His PPP (which includes turnovers) was well above average at 1.45 PPP (1 is considered good).
Yes, he needs to cut back on the turnovers, but he's gotten much better overall offensively. -

He's fine. So long as he isn't trying to dribble or shoot set shots. But he's fine with shooting on the move it seems.
I swear, add 20lbs to him and make him a PF. -

he's a perfect 4th or 5th starter. He takes what he gets in the flow of the offense, doesn't take away from other guys. He just knows with limited offensive options he's gonna try and create. his turnovers will go down when players come back and his offensive output should be relatively similar to now. i think he's doing everything coach asks of ... focus the criticism elsewhere, you have a lot of options.

So it would go (assuming we are all healthy)
1. Gordon
2. Davis
3. Anderson
4. Rivers
5. Aminu -

The Hornets should make Aminu dribble the ball everywhere that they go. In the airport, team dinner, shoot-arounds, etc. we should never see Aminu without a bball in his hand practicing. Kinda like rb's who have fumbling problems. They have to carry the ball everywhere they go.

He dribbles off his foot more than any player I've ever seen.

11-24-2012, 09:25 AMTinmanhe is on CLOUD 9As I said, >> He has great athletic ability.. So what !? He shouldnt be a starter at all ! Hes not a good ball handler, hes not a good shooter, hes actually not a good rebounder ! He is an average defender ! He is a walking brain cramp ! hes to small to play a 4, he doesnt have outside game to play a 3 ! He has no handle ! Just exactly what part of his game qualifies him to be a starter !?:confused:Quote:

At least three times per game, he thinks that he has morphed into Pete Maravich & proceeds to evolve into Morten Anderson ! As far as when others get healthy, Aminu may remain a starter, but in name only ! His minutes will drop to about 16 per game ! He is a Tweener with no OUTSTANDING skill that will allow him to make up for his BrainCramps and Beanpole physique !Quote:

His turnover percentage is higher than it's ever been right now. His first 2 seasons he never reached 2 turnovers and right now he's pushing 3. I sometimes don't think Monty uses his players correctly. He doesn't seem to play to their strengths. Aminu shouldn't even be put in the position to be turning the ball over that much. Of course if we had 2 of our main starters he probably wouldn't be handling the ball that much but we don't, so, he does.
-
11-24-2012, 09:45 AMInner_GIlol... I'd say Aminu is a good rebounder and a good defender. Last night aminu showed he can be a slasher that finishes with a running floater. If he can develop that, he'd more than serviceable as a starter in this league.Quote:

He's not quite an everyday starter yet, but he's improving alot. Hopefully once he cuts his mistakes down and continues to shoot a high %, it will add to his defense and rebounding.

11-24-2012, 10:20 AMHornetGuru
does he remind anyone else of shawn marion? He would be a great starter, he does absolutely everything but score efficiently
-
11-24-2012, 10:23 AMgroundpattyExcept Aminu actually knows how to shoot a free throw properlyQuote:

if he can get that floater to hit like he was last night, it'll make him very efficient. He's been working on a nice spin to the hoop as well. Still no hope outside of 8 feet though

11-24-2012, 11:23 AMBallSoHardSo anderson's the third best starter on our team but top 40 in the league?Quote:

Marion is a much better ball-handler and a more fluid athlete. Physically stronger as well.

Marion is 12 years older and is in his 14th season. Much more experience there.

11-24-2012, 03:02 PMSnarlyIs that a joke? Aminu in his best year can't touch Marion offensively.Quote:

No way Aminu can ever touch Marion offensively. Marion had way more in his arsenal coming out of college, even if it wasn't pretty all the time. People need to quit being delusional on here.

While Aminu's turnover % has actually gone up this year slightly (from 18% to 21%) his assist % has nearly doubled (7.2% to 13.5%). His Asst/TO ratio last year was 0.714 while this year it's up to 0.926. He's getting there.
Also he's taking 3 pointers at a lower rate than ever in his career, and while I don't have any data on mid range jumpers, it appears he is taking less of those as well. He's realizing what he's good at and what he is bad at and he is starting to become great in a few areas (finishing at the rim, rebounding, making plays on defense) which is what makes you starter material. If he could ever neutralize even one of his weaknesses (ball handling, shooting, decision making) then I think he could be a starter on a championship team if the other pieces around him are right.
I see no reason why he can't be a more athletic and bigger version of Tony Allen down the line.
