Hoops is another matter - elite high school guys are typically ready by 16 or 17 and actually do play with pro-level guys from that age. If you don't show up ready at 18 years old, good chance is you won't ever be ready. Sure you can improve conditioning and hit the weight room, but court skills are much closer at that age. Just how it is... you 17'in stupid ass Bears. 

 
			
		 
	 
 I agree totally. Basketball is a sport where kids can come in ready to play on day one. Not only play, but be physically gifted enough to be the best at their respective position. Not the case with football.
