    +1 on this, I think this is perhaps the best hope for him to develop as you said both "physically and especially mentally/emotionally"

    I wonder sometimes if guys like Meyers Leonard, and there have been many young center prospects like him, lack powers of observation or are unwilling to use them.

    You would think that a guy with that kind of size and athleticism and apparent lack of basketball instincts would benefit from watching film of someone like Bill Walton. Maybe it would help him learn to set a screen and know where to be on defense.

    As he rubs his reddened face, his eyes almost in tears, lacking court awareness, I still hypothesize contact lens irritation inhibiting his eyeball rotation and peripheral vision.

    If so he should try prescription goggles. Get some bad ass ones that make him look like a giant albino killer bee. Plus they'll protect his eyes.
