A Q&A with Aaron Gray on SportingNews.com. It’s rather fluffy, but he admits he can’t wait to face Roy Hibbert and G-town.
Seth Davis at SI.com lists 10 Sophomores ready to make the leap in impact this season.
LEVANCE FIELDS
5-10, G, Pittsburgh
2005-06: 21.7 minutes, 6.8 pts, 2.2 assists, 1.97 assist to turnover ratio
2006-07: 25.3 minutes, 5.8 pts, 6.3 assists, 4.22 assist to turnover ratioSkinny: I could have gone with either of Fields’ classmates, forwards Sam Young and Tyrell Biggs, but I went with Fields because he has picked up the lead guard mantle left behind by Carl Krauser‘s graduation. Though he is actually scoring less than he did last season (largely because his shooting percentages have declined), Fields’ role on the team has been dramatically enhanced because he is the only true point guard on the roster. He is also the closest thing Pitt has to a vocal leader.
The points will go up, maybe not quite to 10 or so. There are just so many scoring options. But that assist and A/TO ratio is excellent so far.
Q. Have you ever had a nickname?
A. A.G. for Aaron Gray.
That’s information we needed to know! 🙂
