Expert Analysis
Michael Roth | Prep Hoops Scout
There aren’t many, if any, better perimeter defenders than Pettis in Ohio. One of the peskiest on ball defenders, Pettis has a knack for giving opposing ball handlers absolute fits at the point of attack. Pettis is also a capable shooter spotting up from 3-point range and is an ideal 3-and-D guard at the Division III level. Jamir Billings played a similar role at Lorain and found instant success at Wooster, while Pettis is a little more limited offensively, the style of play and impact is similar.

A new name for me, Pettis was getting active on the defensive end all game for a Lorain squad that’s overachieved early this season. I love how active his hands are defensively and how he makes opposing guards work to get around him. Pettis also knocked down a circus shot at the first quarter buzzer and showed some shooting touch from the outside. Going to be a defensive specialist at the next level, Pettis should be looked at by Division III programs for a 3 and D guard role after seeing the success Jamir Billings has had at Wooster coming from the same Lorain program.
