Read EvaluationDuvalier Johnson | Prep Hoops Scout
Kimble is a name that not many know much about due to playing at a small school that struggled a season ago, but he was very productive and the team’s best player. Despite being the focal point, he still puts up big numbers consistently and does everything that’s asked of him. He has a big frame as a back down forward, he has a face-up game, and also has great footwork to get what he wants. He does his work on the low post, sets hard screens, and finishes and can score in bunches. We want to see him in a setting to showcase his skill. He certainly doesn’t benefit from us not seeing him in the summer and very rarely during the season, so this is a chance to put himself in a position to show that he belongs.

At the 3A level, Kimble is a strong forward who works on the glass, comfortably leveraging his low center of gravity and physical frame to move around opposing defenders. At his best around the basket, he is a dependable option off the roll, capable of securing those opportunities for finishes past contests.
