Interview with Aldridge on BE

[jlprk]

Well good sir; sometimes players don't get better with age. Sometimes a player becomes a all star; gets max and falls from the waste side like Shawn kemp or Larry Johnson.

I compared them in their 7th seasons. Kemp was better than Aldridge, and leading an elite team. Johnson had declined.

Is that link supposed to be proof that Aldridge is not Monroe? No shit. Monroe is 22. Would you have seen that article about LaMarcus when he was 22? You wouldn't, because Monroe is better than Aldridge was at 22. Monroe is statistically on par with LaMarcus already, the only think LA has on him is experience.

Aldridge averaged 18pts/G when he was 22, and it was only his 2nd year in the league compared to Monroe's 3rd.

Let's not act like Aldridge was some slouch at 22.
