Aluma 15.6 ppg Aluma 6.5 rpg Basile 5.6 Exact same assists per game Still a lot of season left but Indont see Basile being any “softer” than Aluma. Aluma could get pushed around off the block at times too. One difference I’ve seen is Basile seems to make bigger shots at least earlier in the season in tight games. He really made some big ones vs PSU. Hit a huge 3 vs BC although we lost and he also got us within 2 with another today. It was WELL documented how Aluma struggled in the final 5:00 of the games we were losing last year when we started so poorly in conference play

Basile is a big disappointment. Soft, can’t rebound and lacks intensity.** -- Hemmenway2 Dec 31, 2022 at 05:32 PM ET

Basile’s last two games have been poor -- DCL Jan 01, 2023 at 07:41 AM ET

I’m not too worried about Basile. The other two are playing so well that -- NC Hoke Jan 01, 2023 at 04:51 AM ET

Basile is 2nd on team in scoring (13 ppg), 1st in 3pt FGs, 1st in blocks -- YBYSAIAHokie Dec 31, 2022 at 06:07 PM ET

Stats versus the eye test...** -- Tombo Dec 31, 2022 at 06:49 PM ET

Get glasses or watch a game live up close** -- hokiepro Dec 31, 2022 at 07:47 PM ET

I do. He looks weak on the block.** -- Tombo Dec 31, 2022 at 11:18 PM ET

Tombo • 12/31/22 11:18 PM ET

He’s hit or miss. Very similar to Aluma ** -- hokiepro Dec 31, 2022 at 05:55 PM ET

hokiepro • 12/31/22 05:55 PM ET

But Aluma was much better** -- DDhokie31 Dec 31, 2022 at 06:01 PM ET

DDhokie31 • 12/31/22 06:01 PM ET

Not MUCH, but yes better -- hokiepro Dec 31, 2022 at 11:09 PM ET

hokiepro • 12/31/22 11:09 PM ET

Overall...yes, however -- tylerhokie Dec 31, 2022 at 06:28 PM ET

tylerhokie • 12/31/22 06:28 PM ET

Meh. Aluma was automatic in the post and could shoot the 3. ** -- DDhokie31 Dec 31, 2022 at 06:39 PM ET

DDhokie31 • 12/31/22 06:39 PM ET

Basile is shooting better from 2pt and from 3pt than Aluma did last year -- ShockWaveVT Jan 01, 2023 at 06:27 PM ET

ShockWaveVT • 01/01/23 06:27 PM ET

You’re misremembering games when Aluma disappeared for LONG stretches -- hokiepro Dec 31, 2022 at 11:07 PM ET

hokiepro • 12/31/22 11:07 PM ET

Sure but I dont think we can compare Aluma to Basile....** -- DDhokie31 Dec 31, 2022 at 11:09 PM ET

DDhokie31 • 12/31/22 11:09 PM ET

some advanced stats that account for minutes played... -- ShockWaveVT Jan 01, 2023 at 06:25 PM ET

ShockWaveVT • 01/01/23 06:25 PM ET

They’re different players that give you more or less the same thing on -- NC Hoke Jan 01, 2023 at 05:12 AM ET

Basile plays fewer minutes because we have Kidd and Poteat but Basile 13.9 ◄ -- hokiepro Dec 31, 2022 at 11:29 PM ET

hokiepro • 12/31/22 11:29 PM ET

You are comparing an All-ACC player for multiple seasons to Basile.** -- DDhokie31 Jan 01, 2023 at 12:13 AM ET

DDhokie31 • 01/01/23 12:13 AM ET

I’m mainly refuting that he’s a “disappointment” -- hokiepro Jan 01, 2023 at 12:30 AM ET
