Unless Kam’s dad is going to coach him in prep school as well, there is no way in hell that he will be allowed to take 20-30 shots per game….

Also, whoever said he proved anything against the “big boys” was very mistaken. What “big boys” are you talking about? When he scored 20 points one time, against one mainland team, that was up by a ton the whole game, and shot 6 for 24? They lost that game by a million. The most important stat for a PG is WINS……ask any college coach.

But it’s not really their fault. These guys have been hyped up so much by the media, AAU programs, high school coaches, social media, that they feel that they have to lie to the basketball community because they have no offers. Come on, every time a kid gets an offer, he tweets it out or puts it on some type of social app. If he had an offer, the programs that have been hyping him up would’ve been going bananas…..shoot, he lost to Iolani, season was over, and they wrote the article on him. Kawika Lee played a great game……should have been on him.

I remember talking to a family in 2017 who’s son was a pg and went to Kahuku, but went to middle school and most of his high school years on the east coast. HIs dad told me that his son played over 300 games every off season since he was in the 4th grade, from late March until the end of October, and NEVER played the same team twice. That’s what our local kids are going up against when they are battling for college athletic scholarships. That exposure is hard to compete against in Hawaii. Hyping this kid up his whole high school career while in the Division 2, then writing articles weekly about him when there were other teams out playing them, and then saying that they had a wonderful season……they were .500 team at best. Mid Pac has been doing that for years……decades….no write ups….

Bottom line is, this whole state hyped him up, and you’re crippling him. Why do players in Hawaii feel that they belong only in the D1 level. Division 2 basketball is filled with D1 guys, who had scholarships and have transferred for playing time, realizing that their level is lower. NAIA schools are 4 years schools and have very competitive teams. D3 schools don’t give out athletic scholarships, but give out money in other forms for their athletes. Once the State of Hawaii and these kids realize what their level actually is, they will be better off. And if you haven’t realized it by now, it’s lower than what you think.

You cannot force anyone to vote your way. America is run on democracy and people have the right to vote their side and debate to their opposing side. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean you can tell people what to write or think. It’s very immature of you to say people are crying when they are just speaking their mind. They may have a valid point just as you think you do too.
