Donovan Calloway Donovan Calloway 6'0" | PG Wauwatosa East | 2027 State WI was one of the breakout players in the Milwaukee area from this past winter, and he continues to impress this spring with ABC Young Lions . He’s very clever changing his speed on the ball, and is ability to finish with either hand makes him so unpredictable when he attacks the basket. He can go straight into a defender to finish through some contact, or use a euro-step to create a bit of separation and finish high off the glass. Showed confidence in his jumper knocking down a three early in the game and forcing defenders to guard him tight out beyond the arc.

Donovan is fresh off of a breakout junior season at Tosa East, and looks to be continuing that run of play into the spring with ABC Young Lions . We’ve seen him have big scoring games, but on Saturday he impressed as a facilitator. He made quick decisions with the ball, didn’t over dribble, and found ways to get into the lane and force the defense to collapse on him. When he wasn’t setting up his teammates with quality looks, Donovan showcased impressive body control as a finisher that allowed him to get to the rim and score over size.

One of the more pleasant surprises of Friday evening, Calloway spearheaded a huge comeback for the ABC Young Lions in their 60-58 loss to Wisconsin Dynasty . Trailing by close to 20 points at points in the game, Calloway got hot in the second half, scoring the majority of his game-best 23 points after intermission. The Lions managed to cut their large deficit to one point on one occasion but just couldn’t over the hump to take the lead. Still, Calloway’s shooting, quickness in the open court, solid basketball instincts and highly competitive nature fueled the Lions’ impressive comeback.

Donovan Calloway Donovan Calloway 6'0" | PG Wauwatosa East | 2027 State WI is an explosive athlete who has the chance to put up some big scoring numbers for Tosa East over the next two years. He has the ability to play either guard spot, but excelled as a slasher on the wing in the game I watched. Calloway hit a tough pull-up jumper from the elbow area, threw down a transition dunk, and wiggled his way to the rim for a number of finishes off the drive. So slippery weaving threw defenders in the half-court, and then using his length and athleticism to rise up and finish. Those physical tools also help him on the defensive end where he can defend the 1-3 spots. He averaged 11.2 ppg last season as a sophomore.

Donovan was one of the most impressive players that I saw on Sunday. Bouncy offensive player that doesn’t need much space to blow by and finish at the rim. Can score from all three levels and is comfortable pulling from distance knocking down several long balls in the first game. He imposed his will defensively with quick hands which resulted in many steals that lead to transition buckets. He will definitely be a key contributor to ‘Tosa East this season.
