Calvin made the move down the road to OCA from Wando HS where he averaged 14 ppg and 5.1 rebounds last year for the Warriors. Davinroy gives you the ability to score the ball from 3 levels on the floor.

Justin could be a mismatch guy at times with his play and versatility to run the floor and fill the lane. Coleman can finish over bigger post players and in return can defend them down low also in the paint. Justin can bully you down low at times and really shows to have a soft touch around the rim. He recently has expanded his game to the perimeter with his ability to knockdown the 3-ball.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1151019"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Regan really came on strong this Grassroots season with [program_tooltip program_id='2078736' first='Lowcountry' last=''] Strom with his play.
