Huh? If his DAD is the head coach, was he really able to hide such a thing from his "coaches" all season? I'm not diminishing his sacrifice or that he played in pain, but that sounds kind of EXAGGERATED to me. Good Luck to him but some of these stories trying to make kids out as superman just strike me a tad oddly.

He never let the coaches know he was in pain or even talked about it til after the season, when the pain made it hard for him to even stand up. The numbers he put up were great and he wasn't even close to 100% this year. I think you'll see his numbers increase next year as Plymouth will look to push it up the court more and get out and run.
This summer should be an interesting one for him. He's always played very well in AAU and I think that will pay off this summer more than any. He's always been pass-first but I think he will look to score more and that could help as well. The 16U CBIZ is one of the better 16U teams in probably the nation. They are really well coached and have some very good players.
