Expert Analysis
Sam Duren | Prep Hoops Scout
Natural off the ball scorer. Did his damage in the mid-range and as a spot up threat. Really made defenders pay when they closed out, because he plays at his own pace and is smooth when getting into his shot. Can stop for pull ups, or getting deeper and hit floaters. Good variety to his scoring plus off the ball movement made him a handful at the camp.
