I agree with you on this for the most part. He definetly makes some mistakes and turnovers because he wants to hold onto the ball. I think at least some of this behavior though can be attributed to the fact that he is a national star on a high school team and knows he can beat almost anyone he's going to face. I think he won't be as bad about that next year but does need to work on it. That being said he is amazingly talented. He could use some polish but he is definetly going to be an excellent player.
I really don't think being a ball hog warrants being called a scum bag though.
Edit: He's 19. Hardly that abnormal for a high school senior.
