SEC Basketball Player Profile - Alonzo Gee


Name: Alonzo Gee
Height: 6'6"
Position: Forward
Class: Junior
Nickname: The Inconsistency

At times, Ronald Steele has been the best player on this Alabama Basketball team. He has averaged over 10 points per game over his career and in his Sophomore season put up 14 pts on average and dished 4 assists to his teammates.

Oh wait, I started on a Ronald Steele Profile, but then found out he's redshirting. Oh well here is the profile on the Alabama player who will be the other player that Bama fans know about when they aren't talking about Richard Hendrix...except for when they are talking about whatever Nick Saban is doing that day.

Alonzo Gee averaged 16 pts and 6 rebounds per game last season. He had three double-doubles last season including a 10 rebound effort against the impressively bearded Dwayne Curtis. Rebounding will be huge for this Alabama team that ranked 2nd in the SEC in rebounds last season. Last Season Alonzo had a 33.7% mark from beyond the arc as he sunk in 28 3 pointers. With Ronald Steele's 46 riding the bench all season.

Alonzo should be out at small forward for most of the season hoping to improve his outside shooting. Provided he and Richard Hendrix stay out of foul trouble, this Alabama team will be dominant on the boards and impressive in the Front court.

The worst thing you could say about Alonzo gee is the same thing you can say about any small forward, they are inconsistent statistically. It is hard for the Small Forward to get the ball, and it is spotty depending on the other team, how much they rebound and how much they score. If Alonzo wants to play Pro-ball, he'll need to become a shooting guard.
