Who gets better College Development?

Great topic!

To start off with, Metro State is just as good if not better than a decent number of D1 schools and is currently ranked #1 in the nation in D2 hoops.

For mine, a player needs to choose the best situation for them and it does not always work out.

McCarron chose well - a school that has churned out a few NBL players. He has blossomed with opportunities to play and improve on court in game situations, albeit probably not against the standard of teams and players that Aldridge has confronted. But I guess you could say he is 'seasoned' and has had plenty of on court experience.

Aldridge committed to a strong program and has never really cracked it into the main rotation on a consistent basis. He does get to practice against top-tier talent every other day on the other hand unlike McCarron. Given an opportunity, with his talent, I am sure Aldridge can shine as a pro. He has stepped up and make big shots (sending a game into OT) for Butler.

It is always a tough one though. You could also argue a guy like Matt Hodgson who went to Southern Utah and played big minutes before transferring to Saint Mary's and playing minimal time is also a case in example.

Ultimately, it is all about choosing the right school, with the right coach, in the right situation to be able to receive opportunities and be able to take advantage of them. It can all go pear shaped quite quickly.
