Expert Analysis
Max Wagner | Prep Hoops Scout
Irvin consistently proves to be one of the best on-ball defenders in the state. Against Minnetonka he was harassing opposing point guards, picking up a handful of steals on the night, and often times turning those steals into a quick two points going the other way. His defensive energy is infectious, and you always see him trying to fire up his team after big plays. Offensively he can run the show as a facilitator, but isn’t afraid to get to his spots for mid-range jumpers when his team needs a bucket. Helped his team pick up a win over Minnetonka.

De’von’s 6 points on Thursday weren’t anything eye catching, but it was his play outside of the box score that really stood out. Matched up against one of the best point guards in California, Irvin was relentless pressuring the ball and making things difficult for him all game long. His motor to consistently pick up full-court and pressure the ball prevented his opponent from ever getting into a real rhythm, and that was key for DeLaSalle as they went on to defeat Oakland Tech.

Read EvaluationJack Pfeiffer | Prep Hoops Scout
De’Von is one of the best on-ball defenders in Minnesota’s 2025 class and I love the energy he brings to the game no matter the time or score. He was causing disruption with his defensive ball pressure, trapping and forcing turnovers. He has great lateral quickness and always seems to be one step ahead from opposing guards. Offensively, he can score from all three levels and is tough to stop when getting transition opportunities. Irvin also had a steal that led to an off the backboard assist for a dunk.
