That's one ugly scar. I count somewhere in the range 30 stitches, and maybe 2 operations. Something like that would mess with your head. Here's an analysis of Christian's game before he committed to the Sooners:
"For the Sooners after missing out on SG Shake Milton (6'4) of Owasso, Oklahoma the Sooners shifted their attention to Christian James (6'4, 180) of Bellaire, Texas. James is an excellent scorer (19) and is outstanding getting to the basketball. He does shoot the ball well from outside, but his main threat is driving to the basket and he is very good and getting to the hoop."
I didn't see him driving to the basket in the one practice I watched, so I wonder if he's still playing a little cautiously. This is a player who was ranked as the top shooting guard in Texas as a junior, so he's gonna bust out some day.
