Arius Spears can be a prime example of what it means to be aggressive. He knows exactly where he wants to go to score. He knows when he wants to drive all the way to the rim or when he wants to stop and shoot the short jumper. Spears is a 6’2 wing player from Northmont High School. He has very lengthy arms. His arms allow him to short over defenders and even make stops when he is on defense.
Photo taken by Ron NunnariSpears has offers from Heidelberg and Bluffton and looks pick up more offers and interest as he is beginning his final season of high school basketball. Spears s capable of receiving an offer to play at the next level. His aggressiveness and energy gets his team pumped every possession. You can just tell that this kid loves basketball.
Spears is not just an offensive explosion. He gets after it on the defensive end as well. His long arms allow him to tip passes to cause turnovers. He slides his feet very well and may get anxious at times and will reach but his make up speed helps him get back into play.
Spears carries at 3.2 GPA. He takes his classes just as serious as basketball because he knows without the proper grades, there is no basketball. Grades could play a big role in his list of interests and offers.
Arius looks to win a GWOC title and make a run in the Division I tournament to end his senior year. He has been working hard all summer and putting in the work in the weight room. He wants to add mass to his body to be able to finish better at the rim while absorbing contact.
