I hate the way that kid will be remembered because he was 6 months short of the timeline that team needed him to be on, all at no fault of his own.
He wasn't a kid who was trouble. He wasn't a kid who didn't try. He wasn't a kid who wasn't coachable.
He showed up to Kentucky as virtually an old high school sophomore and tried to meet #1 draft pick hype and follow Cousins, Davis, Nerlens, Willie and Towns--all with the weight of saving a family and community from suffocating poverty, thousands of miles away from his family.
He took a beating on and off the court and kept his head up and never once complained or lashed out.
