Transitioning from high school to college basketball is one of the toughest things to do as an athlete. Going from facing competition that you were far superior than to being the little fish in a sea of piranhas is not easy both physically and mentally. No freshman is immune to the jump, but some handle it better.
Fortunately for Michigan State, both Jordan Scott and Cam Ward are in the group of freshmen who have handled the transition better than most.
While this season has come with some ups and downs for both Ward and Scott, it’s been proof that both of these guys can not only hang at this level, but excel and develop into NBA players.
