Lloyd said each time he sees his pupil, he reminds him he must bulk up his skinny frame, work on his academics and play through adversity.

"Sometimes kids accept the fact they’re playing poorly," Lloyd said. "He needs to work on that a little bit."

"It’s a little bit hectic," he said, "but I’d rather have this than not have it. It’s going to get me somewhere in life."
