Would like to see what he could do under a coach who is better at developing guards. He's hardly the first guard to look like absolute shite under Pearl in recent years. It's been a big problem for Auburn's program and is a big reason why they've failed to make it out of the first weekend this decade.

I hear you, but it is evident that he hasn't been able to make the adjustments needed coming from high school ball. Like with any sport, it happens at times. No need to get defensive. He could blossom. Carry on.

This is kinda overplayed. Our pg before Aden was a transfer from EKU who was 5 foot 10 and Pearl turned him into an All SEC player.

There have been a couple recruiting misses that have hurt us at guard but it's not like BP isn't doing a good job with them.

Assuming you’re not trolling, I would love to see you provide some examples because Bruce has a history of taking underrated guards and turning them into all league performers.

KT Harrell, Jared Harper, Bryce Brown, Samir Doughty, J’von McCormick, Malik Dunbar (more of a SF) , Wendell Green Jr, Shariffe Cooper (when he was eligible and healthy).

Aden- despite his inconsistent shooting, he made the All Freshman team.

KD Johnson- is what he is, not sure his deficiencies could be helped by Bruce.

Chance Westry- was never healthy and couldn’t play. He barely played for Syracuse.

Justin Powell- was playing very well for Bruce until he got knocked out at Sky Bar and couldn’t play. Ever since then he hasn’t really done anything anywhere else.

Coach can't fix him from shooting constant bricks.
