    He's only a good player if you watch his youtube highlights... Gets shut down by any real teams. But there's no denying there's a sky high ceiling if he gets the right coaching over the next few years

    He redshirted.

    I'd also like to point out that soccer players can go pro as soon as someone will pay them to play. People forget that.

    This could open quite the door. Take a 5th year of high school or play a year in college? Personally, I like Bobby Knight's stance the best. Either go straight to the NBA from high school or play in college for 3 years.

    I can't imagine why a kid would want to take a 5th year of high school instead of playing at Kentucky,or another big school.

    Most kids don't enjoy going to Brewster or Hargraves. They I because they have to.

    It's actually a good strategy for being drafted too. Scouts(just as we are) are horrid at guessing in the draft, especially on high ceiling types even with 1 year of college experience.

    If you never play against anything resembling NBA talent other than AAU an agent can make you into whatever super hyped prospect they want. Everyone looks like an all-star in workouts.
