His activity on the floor and willingness to make plays give him multiple ways to contribute throughout a game. Defensively, his effort and ability to stay engaged allow him to make an impact on that end as well.

Defensively, his activity in different situations and effort have allowed him to stay involved and make plays on that side of the floor.

His scoring ability and willingness to make plays give him the versatility to impact the game in multiple situations.

He has shown the ability to create offense and find ways to impact the game with the ball in his hands especially passing the ball precisely. His offensive versatility allows him to contribute in different situations while continuing to develop his overall game. Defensively, his activity on the ball and in passing lanes to generate steals has been a big strong factor in the team's defense. Also on that end of the floor his effort gives him another avenue to impact the game outside of scoring. Durham's continued production in fall league makes him a prospect to keep an eye on as he heads toward the high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
