I mentioned it in other threads but the major disruptions to the Prep and AAU schedules appear to have wreaked havoc on a lot of kids including those higher rated.
Amazing to think that not getting to play a normal senior year might make it more difficult for a kid to then transition to playing at the major Div I level against kids who are experienced at that level.
Athleticism and natural ability doesn’t guarantee a successful result, but it does give the individual with the athleticism and natural ability a much, much higher likelihood of reaching that successful result and sooner than others. But it still requires work and adjustment to the higher competition.
And no one should be compared to Melo. Dominant frosh who carried us to a National Championship. It is unlikely that we’ll ever have another Melo……ever. He ultimately proved to be a 10 star compared to these 5 stars.
