For some reason, a lot of you sell Tilmon short and I have no idea why!! If that kid stays at LaLumiere(sp) and continued to perform with and against the best competition in the country he is easily a top 20 kid or higher and borderline McDAA, still had offers from multiple Blue bloods. He has started and performed 15u for MOKAN with MPJr, started and balled out playing up with Jayson Tatum and the Eagles, Team USA invites. Coming back home hurt his development and psyche I believe. I have seen both JT and Jontay play multiple HS and AAU games in person over the years and I can't say one is better than the other because their skill sets are different., Jontay may be more naturally filled out but JT has broader shoulders and a larger wingspan which helps out in rebounding and shot blocking. Together they would be the twin towers with totally different games. Now if Nikko has really developed his skills and is fully healthy, he may be the reason JT won't start but Jontay is not ready to take on the role of primary offensive board banger, rebounder, shot blocker etc, you limit his effectiveness and transition to college. I'm more concerned with matchups and personnel groupings than who starts because it's a moot point at the first TV timeout..
