Aaron Wheeler: One Question For Summer

Related Topics: Brewster Academy, Question, Summer

Is the hype for real?

It’s a bit of a subjective question, something based on someone else’s appraisal and not at all specific, but the buzz has been quietly building since the Brewster Academy forward came to campus.

First of all, Aaron Wheeler was listed at 6’8” by 247 sports coming out of high school. Since this is the internet and I can make these claims without having to follow through, I’ll say this: if he isn’t closer to 6’10” than 6’8” today, I’ll eat my laptop.

He’s skinny, sure, but give me a super stretch wing with the capability of defending all five positions than a girthy beefcake anyday.
