Hawai‘i’s high-impact, do-it-all wing who can still light it up
In the 2015-16 season, Aaron Valdes was a second-team All-Big West guard for Hawai‘i, averaging 14.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists while starting 29 of 30 games[8][9]. He stood out as a long, versatile scorer who could create from the wing, crash the glass like a forward, and punish defenses inside the arc, which is exactly the kind of multi-tool player coaches love[9]. He also brought big-game credibility, earning Big West Tournament MVP honors in 2016, a strong sign he can handle pressure when the lights get bright[10].
