On the day he arrived after moving to Colorado with his mother, Boykins Academy was holding tryouts for the upcoming spring and summer grassroots season.
“I wasn’t used to the altitude yet or anything,” he said.
Still, Dunfee made the team and made his mark. Now, the 6-1 guard who was his league’s newcomer of the year out last season at King High School (which plays in the largest classification in Texas) wants to make a splash on the Colorado prep scene.
After examining his tapes and speaking with Douglas County coach Earl Boykins last month, it’s clear Dunfee has the ability to make a big impact for a Huskies team that is setting high goals for itself this season.
He has a quick first step defensively, with good length, and he makes a habit of disrupting passing lanes. He’s strong in transition, a key trait as DC aims to push the tempo this season.
But ask Dunfee the biggest strength of his game and he leaves little doubt.
“I think I’m a pretty good shooter,” Dunfee said. “In Texas, during my sophomore season, I shot around 55 percent from the 3. I can drive, too, but I’d say my biggest strength is my shot.”
Dunfee plays off the ball and said he has already mixed well with returning point guard Davon Walker and backcourt teammate TJ Boykins.
“Those guys are like my brothers,” Dunfee said. “Those guys welcomed me so fast. They are already some of the best friends I’ve ever had.”
Dundee is clearly fitting in. Now, he’s ready to stand out. He said his game has already taken big leaps under the guidance of Earl Boykins, the longtime NBA guard.
“He teaches you a lot about the mental aspect of the game,” Dunfee said. “He wants you to play fast and under control while making them take fast shots. It’s just the mental aspect I wouldn’t think of that is a big deal, but it really is a big deal.”
