Purington is another prospect that we covered in the Notable Newcomers article a few weeks back and is a prospect that could end up as a riser in the next rankings. The Berwick Academy big man continues to improve his conditioning, allowing him to capitalize on his high motor for longer stretches. He’s a good passer that can operate from the elbows or out of the high post and does a good job as a roller out of ball screens and dribble hand offs. His scoring comes mostly around the rim, where he has good touch and the ability to turn over either shoulder on the low block. Defensively, he’s moving better laterally, allowing for more options in ball screen defense, while continuing to show his ability to rebound the basketball at a high clip. He should be a standout this winter for Berwick and will be a prospect to monitor in the spring.
