Sipp United rolled into Spooky Nook with the #1 target on their back, but Deshawn completely stole the show. In a gym packed with high-major talent, he was unequivocally the best athlete on the floor.
​His physical tools and high motor allow him to impact winning even when the ball isn’t designed to go to him. The real standout was a elite 3-minute sequence in the second half where he completely took the game over and broke their opponent’s back: He Poured in 7 straight points, showcasing three-level scoring potential and an ability to create his own shot under pressure. He Instantly flipped the floor by forcing 2 steals and crashing the glass for 3 tough rebounds. His lateral quickness and length are exactly what is needed in a press/switching scheme. Deshawn Capped off the run and secured the win with an absolutely emphatic baseline dunk that nearly took the rim down. My Takeaway is Deshawn isn’t just a highlight-reel kid; his pure athleticism translates directly to high-major winning basketball. He commands the floor, affects multiple statistical categories in a blink, and possesses that “alpha” gene D-1’s are looking for to anchor a recruiting class.
