Question to LC about Humphries and Maker?

The COE has always been well run, but not always well funded!

Firstly, playing US high school hoops does not necessarily guarantee improvement beyond what the CoE provides. What it does however, is provide an opportunity to be noticed - gaining a huge amount of exposure otherwise not available in Australia. It also provides an opportunity to be "the man" on the team. The star player - something that is not as prevalent back in Australia where the team usually comes first.

As for Humphries vs Maker - I would say that they are two very different types of players. Both are 7 foot, but Maker is far more athletic and has way better handles than Humphries. Humphries is physically bigger and heavier. Both are exceptional talents.

Humphries has proven himself on the world junior stage. Maker has not.

Both will continue to gather a huge amount of hype. Both will be expected to dominate at HS level and the translate that to college.
