[quote=Anonymous]I think it really depends on what the coaches are looking for. In 7th grade, my kid was playing for a fairly good 8th grade AAU team. None of the other kids on his MS team played AAU, and he was statistically better than most of them measured per minute. But, he came off the bench for the MS team and didn’t get much playing time. I still remember one game where coach put him in with 2 minutes remaining in the quarter, and he hit a three, got a steal, then hit another three in subsequent possessions. Coach took him out of the game after the second three. Meanwhile, a tiny point guard played the whole game despite having turnovers on like half of their possessions. He would bring the ball down, drive into traffic with no plan, and get his shot blocked — all without even looking for open teammates. But, the coaches liked the aggressiveness of the player who tried to drive to the rim, so my kid didn’t play. I think your son will be better off on a team that appreciates his game. [/quote]
