He's taking shots at Bruce now. Saying he was "sold a dream" and after a great start to the season he offense changed. So not only he is terrible at basketball, he's also a terrible liar. 1 good game then was terrible, yet Bruce let him keep starting and shooting. I guess its Bruce's fault that he shot 21% on open 3's and couldn't make wide open lay ups.

This is the full quote
quote:

At Auburn I kind of got sold a dream by my coach. The season started out good for me individually and as a team, and then he kind of went in a different direction with the offense. I was just kind of taken out of the offense as a playmaker, and like a decision maker. I was just on the court when it came to offense. It was tough for me"



Everyone's fault except his that he couldn't make wide open shots or run the offense.

The kid isn't a PG. He's now been at 5 schools in 5 years. Meh. Let's move on from that jobber and be better at guard.

the bammers should make him a catch and shoot 2. They don't generally play D anyway so he should be good there.

Man that is terrible, trying to throw Bruce under the bus, for his failures.

He’s a teenager that has folks around him telling him it’s not his fault. Not trying to make excuses for him, but this isn’t exactly a man with a family, mortgage, and perspective.

Hope he loses to Auburn a lot, but wish him well otherwise.

The team is better today than it was yesterday. The fact he ended up at bama makes it even sweeter. He just isn't SEC athletic.

No idea if you were just saying this or heard it, but I heard this was part of the problem a couple months ago.

The different direction was moreso playing to strengths snd not asking a TF to build a house with bricks!

He had the 3rd most shot attempts and most 3 pt attempts on the roster. The idea he was cut out of the offense is a little ridiculous. Definitely sensing some immaturity from him.

It’s a business now. We are loaded on the roster for next season. If we were looking at a .500 season next year and didn’t need a player to absolutely play his role Aden would have been pampered and developed like he needs to be. But we need a PG that can play a higher level next season.

Aden will probably become a really good player. He will be like Cooper extremely skilled but just too small to play at the next level.

I hope that's true. Wasted NIL money.

That’s hilarious. Bruce and company wasn’t interested in keeping Aden and he probably got the hard truth about NIL that hey kid players that average these numbers are way below what you are making so we are going to cut your NIL to this number… blah blah blah
