No, I dont expect seniors to take it easy on freshmen in varsity ballgames. I dont expect it or hope that they do. A player only gets better when they are playing against better players, not ones who take it easy. But here are the facts. The biggest thing Deven needs to play now would be more of a physical game. If he played half as physical as I did then he would dominate this year as a freshman, even against Ryan. The physical play will come with more age and maturity. I think he will dominate the freshman and JV games and some varsity games. I just dont see many centers in the 15th that if he was a year or two older and had the physical part of under the goal in his game, that many centers could compete with a 6'9" 235 lbs big man who is still growing. You could send Ryan and Brandon to the very best coaches in the country, even Rick Pitiono and they couldnt teach either of them two that you mentioned to be 6'9". But I will say this, with all honesty, I will bet that neither person you mentioned or any other center in the Eastern part of the state could push him out from under the goal right now with him being a freshman. He has the strenght, but I feel like right now he is scared to hurt someone. So tell me this toughguy, who do you think a coach would rather have on there team as a center, a 6'9" kid with 4 more years of ball playing, or a 6'4" center with a temper problem with only two more months of playing?
