I don't care what level you play on, when you can score like JD your future is bright.
I can't wait to see him in Crimson!

Yeah you're correct. He's also proved his talents on the AAU circuit as well, he's legit. it's going to be a learning curve of course but if he comes in with hunger and dedication to work hard and grow, The Young Beast has the potential to be something special! The good thing is CNO and crew will keep him honest ... if he's not putting in the effort, he won't play. Its as simple as that. But if he invests into the system, there's a great chance he will be one-and-done.I don't care what level you play on, when you can score like JD your future is bright.

Right. He has the raw skills that I think CNO can draw out to be a special player.Yeah you're correct.

Agreed, lots of his stuff on twitter just rubs me the wrong way.Wonder how long it'll take Oats to erase the taunting? That looked like a clip with several "Ts". Also, the post-dunk "excessive celebrating" could use some cleaning up even when he's not taunting an opponent...
I suppose CNO will correct that behavior and he won't be doing near as many "highlight" dunks at the next level (at the same rate he did in HS).Wonder how long it'll take Oats to erase the taunting?

Thank you. I have been trying not to say anything so as not to come across negatively. He is a tremendous talent and I look forward to his time on the floor. That said, I guess I'm old school and don't agree with ever trying to "show up" somebody. Act like you've been there before. Hoping it is just him being young.Agreed, lots of his stuff on twitter just rubs me the wrong way.
Used to be the players would handle this stuff. You'd get "Charles Oakleyed" by somebody, haha!I suppose CNO will correct that behavior and he won't be doing near as many "highlight" dunks at the next level (at the same rate he did in HS).
But man, if you can't see the incredible talent (no matter the level of competition he played at) you don't know basketball.
He's going to be a "star" in CNO's system. Afraid he'll be a one and done.
Good Lawd!!!I'ma just go ahead and drop this right here ...
I don't recollect addressing talent at all...I suppose CNO will correct that behavior and he won't be doing near as many "highlight" dunks at the next level (at the same rate he did in HS).

Or 'Mule Kinged' as Norman Anchrum found out at halftime, way back when. The gray beards will remember that one.Used to be the players would handle this stuff. You'd get "Charles Oakleyed" by somebody, haha!
Reggie Mule King of Jackson Olin and Norm Anchrum of Jones Valley. Not to mention TR Dunn of West End. Bham produced a heck of a lot of talent in 1970’s and 1980’s.Or 'Mule Kinged' as Norman Anchrum found out at halftime, way back when. The gray beards will remember that one.
No you haven't, but one poster has questioned how good he is because he played in a lower classification.I don't recollect addressing talent at all...
