Georgia Tech’s long, efficient frontcourt finisher with pro-level size
In the 2008-09 season, Alade Aminu was a productive Georgia Tech forward who brought real frontcourt value: he averaged 11.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 52% from the field. He stood out as a physical, high-motor big with good length, a reliable rebounder, and legitimate shot-blocking presence, which made him more than just a box-score guy. The bigger selling point is his NBA-ready frame and interior impact; the caution flag is that his free-throw shooting sat at 59%, so late-game offensive polish was still a work in progress.
