either guys can play or they can't.  this idea of you need to shelter a player so they don't get their feelings hurt and you don't play them until they can win is...I don't have a word for how nonsensical it is.  basketball is the most individually competitive team sport in the world.  you don't get to be good if you aren't good.  ultimately, especially for guards, if you want to be good you have to be intensely competitive because so very little separates these guys.  if you play a kid that is a bit young, if he is competitive enough, if anything it should only stoke that mental process of "well he beat me last time, im going to beat him next time" and as a basketball player especially you never look at it as "oh he jumps higher or whatever" you look at it like on this day I can win.  maybe the staff is ruling the kid out and maybe he should transfer.  I'm not there yet.  I see a kid that can be at least as good as scoop.  maybe he doesn't have the scoop je-ne-sais-quois, but for me personally I'm just not done with KJ yet.  but if he transfers I get it.
