It’s been a while since I’ve seen Derez hoop in person, but he did not disappoint. The two-way combo guard showcased the most complete game of anyone on a KY Ambition 15U team that features several future college players. He has a profound understanding of angles when finishing around the rim. He kissed the ball sky high off the glass on several occasions at a level of comfortability that’s beyond his years. He also showcased his court vision and made several tough passes to find open teammates, including a full court dime that led to a corner 3PT field goal. Derez’s contributions on the other side of the ball, however, set him apart. At one point he made up for a turnover with a full out sprint to stop the fast break followed by a block on the shot attempt. He also used intense ball pressure to rack up steals at the top of the key which led to easy one-man fast break opportunities.
