I think it takes a player who is highly motivated to standout every game at DCD. Shane Battier and Chris Weber were two players that dominated in HS in spite of the collection of very good players recruited to play around them.
I also think a 17 year old who is almost 7 feet tall has a lot more to deal with on and off the court than most of us will ever know. Until he started playing against AAU teams how often did he even face a player he couldn't dominate with minimum effort? Another question is how insistent is his coach on getting him touches in scoring locations every trip down and how often do his team mates comply.
Like I said, I have seen this kid play lights out one night and look bored the next time out. He'll mature and get more skills but can he do it as fast as other 6'10+ players he will be facing in college wherever he plays?
