He doesnt stand out on the court like the three previously mentioned, his basketball IQ isnt nearly as high either. He also has let the emotions get the best of him at times. he has shows some of his atheltic ability at times, but doesnt play with that intensity all the time. The only player, of the ones previously mentioned, that is a better athlete than him is Chip Rank (who is an absolute beast)
*Note, these observations were made by a rival team and do not include AAU play.

However, word on the street is that he's felt slighted by his fall in rankings (#3 freshmen yr, #4 beginning of soph yr, #9 end of soph yr) and has committed to his game more in this off season.

I dont dought you and thanks for the info but I still see Flavien as a better fit for the swing then anyone instate outside of Kelm, I hope that he has put more effort in his workouts that is one thing ive heard he lacks is a real work ethic so I hope that changes...BTW welcome and where exactly do you play?
