About Derek
Expert Analysis
Eric Wallace | Prep Hoops Scout
The junior big man was a consistent interior presence for Montverde, averaging nearly a double-double across the team’s three wins. He runs the floor well and shows good mobility with better-than-average athleticism for his size, allowing him to impact the game beyond just the paint. Offensively, he has soft hands and excellent touch around the rim, finishing efficiently through contact and on second-chance opportunities. On the defensive end, he alters shots with his length and timing and continues to make strides as a reliable rim protector. His rebounding has become a major strength, as he consistently pursues the ball and secures boards at both ends of the floor. With his physical tools, motor, and growing production, he is a frontcourt prospect to monitor closely in the junior class.
