Expert Analysis
Hector Marquez | Prep Hoops Scout
Desire is a player that is intriguing. He is very slender but strong and he has the height and skill to continue to develop his skill set at the next level. In some ways he reminds you of a Chris Bosh in the paint and mainly because they have similar builds but if a school is willing to put the time in with him he is a player that can continue to rise at the next level. If he ends up at a prep school he will be a double-double machine.

Desire often times looked like the best player on the floor and when you do not bump him early as he runs the floor he gets easy rim runs and he makes quick work of that. He is a D1 prospect and he made sure of that in early play this past weekend. Could see him eventually get to the MM level for sure.

When you look at players that have a lot left to grow their game Desire is one you have to really pay attention to. He could be a long term prospect that will likely give you what you need as a 4 or 5 depending what you have on your roster. He is defending better and better in a man. He has that shot altering and shot blocking ability. He moves his feet well and you can put him in a switch 1-5 and he could hold his own. He has a good touch and at the college level he is only going to get more reps and get better. He could be a late signee at the LM D1 level.

Desire is really taking the next steps towards his development and although he is not really asked to step out and shoot a lot or to handle the ball but he can. Right now he is finishing around the rim and in time he will add more mass and his footwork will even get better than it is. Desire is a MM to LM big right now at the D1 level.

Desire got his feet under him in the second game of the year and he provides some solid play as a true 4 or 5 depending on who is he playing with at the next level. With a few shooters around he could do damage in the dunker spot. A lot of upside in his game and as he transforms physically as well.

Read EvaluationGreg Stein | Prep Hoops Scout
Derelle is a super long, very athletic, big man. He constantly affects or blocks opponents shots in the paint, vacuums in rebounds on both ends, and has good touch around the basket including the ability to finish with brute force above the rim.
