I've told this story before, but I will tell it again. Two VERY talented 9th graders, on a very top team, went to a showcase winter of their 9th grade year. One got a PG grade of 7.0 and one got a 7.5. While they were great players there wasn't enough yet to project them. Fast forward one year, now they are in the middle of 10th grade, and they went back to the same showcase. Now both have a PG grade of 9.0, which is a really great number.

The only time I have seen above a 7.5 grade for a 9th grader is if the kid was doing something like throwing 85+, or had a pop-time of 1.8...which if you think about it makes sense. Those numbers would stack up with Juniors and Seniors, which makes me conclude that until the kid can stack up against the current Juniors and Seniors it might be best to hold off on showcasing. At least that is my plan.
