Message: [QUOTE="OrangeAl, post: 2408572, member: 308"] "Development" is a unique process for everybody. If playing maximum minutes against the best competition were the formula, then we'd send our 8th graders up against the Cavaliers so they can become awesome. But most players need to have success at every step up the ladder to really develop their all-around game. That includes their skills, their stamina, their confidence, their leadership, their intelligence, their media savvy, and their personal maturity. College basketball is the equivalent of baseball's A / AA/ AAA leagues all in one. So, yes, handling a 6'5" center from Colgate is part of the development process. So is taking classes and being BMOC and talking to Mike Waters and Donna Ditota and being chewed out by HCJB. Everything in its time. [/QUOTE]
