Derek is a physical power forward who plays a bit bigger than his size in the paint. Running with Minnesota Heat , the East Ridge prospect was dominant on the glass, pulling in rebounds in bunches on both ends of the floor. Derek had a nice high-low assist, dribbled into a pull-up jumper from mid-range, and was setting hard screens to free up his guards throughout the game. Defensively he can defend bigger than his size because he has the strength to hold his ground on the block.
