Nate Oats' Aden Holloway comments could be a game-changer for Alabama basketball

Aden Holloway proved to be a terrific addition for Nate Oats and Alabama basketball last season. The Auburn transfer was a glove-like fit in Oats' offensive system, proving the doubters on the Plains wrong immediately by elevating his offensive game instantly in a large freshman-to-sophomore leap.

Holloway emerged as one of the best shooters in college basketball last season, seeing a dramatic increase in his numbers from the previous season.

Fresh (Aub): 20.2 MPG, 7.3 PPG, 2.7 APG, 32/30/77 splits

Soph (Bama): 21.1 MPG, 11.4 PPG, 1.9 APG, 47/41/78 splits

Holloway transitioned into more of an off-the-ball role with Alabama, with Mark Sears and Labaron Philon doing the bulk of the ball-handling.
