Expert Analysis

I was very impressed with Darius’ game back in April and it was much of the same on Friday night. The 6’2” guard has all the physical tools to play at the next level, showing off his strength and jumping abilities throughout the game. He is a threat to score from all three levels, but did most of his damage around the basket, occasionally connecting with some ridiculously tough looks off the dribble as well. Chestnut has been one of my favorite players to watch this season.

Darius is one of the better unsigned seniors remaining in Wisconsin, and he made some big plays on the defensive end in the game I watched. He has a strong frame for a high school guard, is laterally quick, and works hard on and off the ball. Made some big plays as a help-side shot blocker with his ability to explode off the floor and swat shots. Shot wasn’t falling in the game I saw, but showed off a quick burst off the dribble to get to the rim and hang in the air to finish. Explosive athlete out of the Madison area.

Darius was in a league of his own on Sunday morning, absolutely dominating the game when he was on the floor. He possesses great size for the guard position and combines that with an extremely diverse offensive skillset. He was knocking down shots from deep off the catch, but shined the most when he was getting loose in transition for some highlight finishes. He was great at using either his right hand or left hand and had some creative ways to get around his defender in 1v1 scenarios. He is a great athlete and played some stellar on-ball defense as well. A 2023 that is still unsigned out of Sun Prairie West that was my player of the day.
