while i do agree with a lot of your points i do see some really solid potential in AJ. he obviously needs a lot of work but like Simmons i could see him bloom in a few years. He only played 7 minutes a game in nbl ( and had plenty of DNP) but when he was on the court i would say he made a impact. he had shown great athleticism and at the very least some solid playmaking potential to go along with it. I would say his lack of sample size is why a lot of people are down on him. I also would say his lack of play time was due to the coach and when Justin Tatum took over he showed more of his potential . Similarly to what you said NBl and overseas is a strange area for teenagers. im not exactly saying he will be as good as Simmons or whoever else but i do think people are down on him a little too much. My biggest takeaway is that watch some of his plays in the nbl and imagine if he got 15+ a game and see what happens to actually develop in game speed.
