Donte DiVincenzo didn’t even start for Villanova & just got drafted in the first round of the NBA draft. Young people, stop being consumed with your rating, whether or not you start, & how many points you average. Be a team player & impact the game whenever you’re on the floor!

Being a scorer does not mean being a winner. Coaches want winners above all else! Winners win in the classroom, weight room, etc. College coaches don’t get to keep their job because you led in scoring in a loss. They keep their job because you do whatever it takes to win!
