these players are coming in so young and unless physically and mentally mature i fear for them-from injuries ,ego and emotions-durability a big factor i was recruited by u conn but suffered an knee inury never to play again at 18,my son with big vertical suffered ruptured ligaments and broken ankle in quarterfinals english national tournament at 18 coming down on someones foot not to play again ,his teamate at 17 an all england player another leaper similar injuries screws in ankle took two years to get back--i look at smarts ability to initiate contact and his balance both offensively anddefensivily and his mental toughness and background ,his immediate impact and leadership-and he may or may not be a all star but he will survive and lead--hopefully
