+1 !Put him on a team with a couple of attack dogs like Jordan Goodwin and I'll bet he feeds off the energy.

It also can be just knowing you will get benched for something like that. I know very little about his HS squad and the kids he plays with, and the coach of his team. But if he takes a few trips up and down the court off right now, who on that team is close to him in talent that the coach can put in?For certain players sure, but that can destroy some players too.
A good coach finds the motivating factor for their players and uses that, whether it's PT, fame, NBA, money, whatever.
Sitting on the bench helps.
Question is, how do you coach a player like Damonte into keeping his motor up? I imagine he's had plenty of coaches in his ear telling him how fantastic he is when playing with focused intensity. Don't know if it's that simple...then again, I'm no coach
Makes me think of DJ Williams
Wasn't DJW top 25 @ one time and fell to RSCI #78. Let's hope that doesn't happen to DMWilliams.
I for one even questioned giving a ship to DJW.
I think thats accurate. I never questioned the ship. The ability is there and he might have the highest ceiling on the team. He just needs to put it all together. We will see if that happens.

Easterling just said that Xavier Tillman posted a top 19 and we didn't make it. Having a top 19 is kinda funny imo.
A top 19? Kinda silly lol

.@indy_heat big man Xavier Tillman finished w/ 18 pts & 14 rebs. Told me he was excited about #Illini offer last week & opportunity there.
Well the last Xavier we recruited didn't end up at one of the top schools he posted..
As far as Illinois is concerned, the last few Xavier's we recruited had the same destiny as the last few Moore's.
