Glue Guys

<p>Utah across the board has talented players. A lot of teams have guys on their rosters who helped hold everything together with their effort, versatility, and ability to stay on the floor and be effective. Here is a list of some of those guys across the age groups.</p> <p><strong>6’3 G [player_tooltip player_id="967721" first="Darius" last="Henderson"] | Hunter High School | Utah Premier | 2022</strong></p> <p>Darius has a high motor and he embraces defense. His game is exciting and he plays with speed and athleticism. When on the break he can get out and run and when he is in the open floor, he can get from one side of the floor to the other with quickness. Darius makes tough plays look easy. He scores and defends which allows him to stay on the floor. He is a glue guy because he gets steals and makes it easy for his team to score with his presence and IQ that allows him to score with ease as well. </p> <p><strong>5’10 PG [player_tooltip player_id="543075" first="Coleman" last="Ford"] | Timpview High School | Utah Prospects | 2021</strong></p> <p>Coleman has a few options moving forward as an unsigned prospect in the Class of 2021. Coleman is a glue guy that not only brings energy to his team and on the floor but he also causes havoc. Coleman can pick up the entire game full-court. He turns his man on defense and he often times can pounce on a ball or get himself a steal. Coleman plays with a high motor on both ends of the floor and he adds skills that keep him om the floor at all times. On offense he runs the offense and gets others involved and he takes advantage of any opportunity given to him, this goes for open lanes or open looks and even kick out threes. </p> <p><strong>6’4 W [player_tooltip player_id="968084" first="Kam" last="Dupaix"] | Bingham High School | Utah Premier | 2022</strong></p> <p>Kam is a player that does it all. If a team wants to go small, he can hold his own as the big. Plays guard and wing well. Kam is a defensive presence because he can guard 1-5. He has some bounce and shooting ability. In transition he can stop the ball well and he allows his teammates to recover in all aspects of defense. Kam can create for himself and he can also create for others, but the thing that keeps him on the floor is the fact that he can score without plays being run his way. He scores on broken plays and he rebounds and is able to get a lot of put backs. Kam is a good prospect for a small school at the next level. </p> <p><strong>6’5 W [player_tooltip player_id="967705" first="MJ" last="Tia"] | Cyprus High School | Utah Premier | 2022</strong></p> <p>MJ is that type of player you can classify as a "Junkyard Dog" He does all the little things. He defends different positions and often times he has to defend the best player on the other team. MJ has above the rim playing ability. He screens and rebounds. MJ’s game is simple and that’s what makes him a nice next level prospect. Moving forward small schools need to keep him in mind, he’s a dual-sport athlete too. </p>
