Was aggressive from opening tip. Communicated consistently. Made shots.

6’5 SF Dejean Desire | Georgetown Prep | Class of 2019

Showed signs of elite potential defensively. Recorded several deflections. Blocks. Steals. Forced it quite a bit offensively. Must learn to really value each possession more.
