About Derek
Expert Analysis
Will Armishaw | Prep Hoops Scout
Swartz, a sophomore out of Portsmouth, was named the NHBCO D-I Player of the Year after averaging 17.6 points per game this winter, good for 7th in D-I. One of the top players in the country in the class of 2028, Swartz is a 6’5″ guard that leaves his fingerprints all over the game. He does a terrific job of rebounding out of the guard spot, is a versatile three-level scorer, and can also operate as a primary initiator in the half-court. He plays with strength as a driver, isn’t afraid to take over games as a scorer, and shows a high level of versatility on the defensive end of the floor. There’s not another player in the state who could fill up a box score in the way that Swartz could this winter.
