For the third time this season and for the second-consecutive week, Alabama basketball junior guard Jaden Shackelford is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week.
On Saturday in Alabama's 87-78 victory over No. 4 Baylor, Shackelford scored 19 points and totaled nine rebounds, five assists and three steals. His rebounds and steals both led the Crimson Tide in totals for the game. Shackelford also finished the game with a plus/minus of 15.
Earlier on Tuesday in Alabama's loss at Georgia, Shackelford still had a solid game. In the 82-76 loss to the Bulldogs, he recorded 20 points, three rebounds and two assists. Shackelford also registered a block.
While Alabama was 1-1 on the week with both its worst loss of the season and arguably its best win, Shackelford provided consistent play in both and gave Alabama a chance on Tuesday and contributed heavily to its success on Saturday.
