Derek had some nice moments on Saturday night with his Minnesota Fury team. At 6’5 he has a strong frame and an imposing wing-span that helps him control the glass, and allows him to defend a number of spots. He’s comfortable defending on the block against size, and can also step out onto the wing and use his length to get up in passing lanes. When I’ve seen him in the past he was mostly a rebounder and clean-up finisher inside, but he showed flashes of an expanded offensive game. Derek stepped out to hit an open three, and shortly after drove in from the wing and finished with touch over the top of a defender.
