Cherokee Trail does not have many post players so against those teams with size, he can be the difference and a go-to option to match that size and intensity and we have saw it at times during the Summer where he’s free flowing and effective, but we’d like to see more of it and for it to translate into the season. This is a spot to show that he’s better than advertised. We saw him last night at the Grandview league and he has a ton of energy and at 6’6, he has size that can be overwhelming and now we want to see him get out and dominate smaller defenders and match the bigs. He should be altering shots at the rim, getting baords and starting the break and doing whatever he can to separate himself. I’d advise him to get himself out there and show that he’s made strides to his game and our showcase can be a place to show that as there should not be too many bigs that can stop him.

Donovan initially stood out for DBA Elite with his size, but watching more of him. He started to show flashes, and he was finishing plays efficiently. Donovan was finding ways to score with his movement and cuts, and teammates continued to find him. He has natural timing on, tracked the ball, and created extra scoring opportunities for himself and teammates by attacking the glass. He’s a solid, productive piece whose game translates and should start gaining more attention moving forward, as he was pivotal int he teams win that I watched on Day 2.
