I always liked AW. I was at XU when he was a Jr/Sr. He was a rim protector back then. A bit skinny at first....
I moved to Seattle in 1995, and he had a 1.5 - 2 yr stint with the Sonics where he was a starter / rotation player. It was really cool to root for him, because frankly his shot at making the NBA was a long shot at best.
Later I went to a Sonics game against the Hornets (AW and DW together). During shootaround, I yelled "A-Train" in his direction. He stopped, looked around and saw my arms crossed in an X. He gave a "woof", did the X, and pointed at me with the head nod. Cool guy. And not so skinny at that point.

Aaron was a quiet kid, and a real good dude. I was the student manager his senior year, and had a few classes with him. Glad he is doing well and enjoying his retirement.
