    Looks like when I let my little nephew score while I'm playing "defense".

    SMH - I think we make too big of a deal out of this type of stuff
    11 is a little young to be projecting this type of stuff
    It is kind of a focusing of his focus
    By making this such a big deal . . . the other stuff by definition becomes less important

    There needs to be some level of balance
    if it is unbalanced I would prefer it be on the side of educational pursuits

    From what I see, the opposing team is avoiding potential harm to the little guy. If you knock him down on a incidental foul, you are blamed for being the bad guy. They may even call a flagrant and eject you.

    It's like playing with a little brother, that's only 7. Every foul is a flagrant foul.

    When he gets to college, they will play real defense then.

    Isn't the correct term "phenom"? I thought prodigy only applied to academia and the arts.

    The question now is whether he'll have the will to improve his game and whether he'll evolve into a two-way player.
