Expert Analysis

Max Wagner

Prep Hoops Scout

Dereon has the potential to be a dangerous guard at Burnsville. As just a sophomore he already leads the team in scoring, and it’s easy to see why. He has a shifty handle and knows how to change his speed to create separation from his defender. Multiple times I saw him just go at his man and get to whatever spot he wanted to. He’s quick enough to get to the basket to finish inside, or can stop on a dime for a mid-range jumper. Dereon is averaging 13.9 ppg this season with three 20+ point performances.

Barnes is the ultimate three-level scorer. I love the mechanics in his jump shot. He elevates nicely, has a high release point, and shoots it with nice rotation. Barnes has a ton of confidence in his game, which gives him a competitive edge over his opponents. He finishes through contact around the rim skillfully and displays great ball security. Barnes plays with great intensity and was one of the most talented scorers I saw all weekend.
