About Deyton
Expert Analysis
Daniel Siehndel | Prep Hoops Scout
A long and rangy forward who consistently finds himself around the ball, Lucas looks poised for an exciting and productive spring and summer. Despite Lutheran South having an up-and-down season, Deyton was a clear bright spot, putting together an impressive year. He averaged 18 points, seven rebounds, and over a block per game while shooting an efficient 53% from the field and 42% from beyond the arc.
One of his biggest strengths is his ability to grab a rebound and push the ball end to end. With his size and handle, he creates real problems for opposing defenses in transition. He plays with a good pace and is comfortable initiating offense, whether as a scorer or a passer. When you add in his consistent shooting from long range, along with his ability to play with both strength and finesse around the rim, it’s easy to see why he’s a name that continues to rise.
If he continues on this trajectory and leans into his dynamic, versatile style of play, Lucas should be in line to generate a strong wave of interest and offers this summer. Expect Division II and low-major Division I programs to start making their presence felt.
