PG Aaron Estrada and SG Latrell Wrightsell Jr to Alabama

Former Hofstra guard Aaron Estrada will be transferring to Alabama, he announced on social media Saturday. Estrada averaged 20.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game for the Pride last season. Estrada was second in the CAA in scoring and earned CAA Player of the Year honors.

A two-time CAA Player of the Year, Estrada is a terrific, attack-oriented guard who is a legitimate three-level scorer. He gets all the way to the rim regularly with terrific change-of-pace skills and long strides that allow him to cover ground quickly. He’s creative and shifty, with all sorts of craft. But more than that, Estrada can just score from all over the court. The lefty gunner can get penetration and then stop and pop from anywhere. He loves the areas around the elbows, where he can stop on a dime and raise up for an easy shot.

It used to be that he was more of a midrange shooter, but now Estrada is not just hitting 3s at a high level, but he’s starting to hit them off of movement. He averaged more than six 3-point attempts per game, and hit 37 percent of them. He hit 39 percent off of his catch-and-shoots, with a ton of them being guarded, per Synergy. Then he even made 34 percent of his pull-up 3s, which is a pretty strong number. Basically, Estrada is as well-rounded and developed a scorer as the mid-major level has seen in the last two years.
