Marcus Portis
About Marcus
Expert Analysis
Charles Clark | Prep Hoops Scout
One of the better rebounders that we saw throughout the event, he consistently put himself in position for rebounds on both ends of the floor. He finds a body to box out whenever a shot goes up and doesn’t allow himself to be boxed out easily, NC Wesleyan fans should be excited about what he can potentially bring to the Bishops.

Portis is an intriguing unsigned senior prospect that could make an impact late in the process for a lower level school. He showed off his leaping ability to make some serious plays as a rim protector and shot blocker, and he was someone that was not able to be scored on often when I watched. He has some guard skills in his dribbling and scoring, showing off a nice pull up midrange off the dribble drive. He can get to the bucket with his strength and the ability to take the ball himself to the rim, and could be used as a slashing wing/forward at the next level. At the very least, coaches should check him out if they’re looking for a strong inside presence who can make plays on both ends.

The Louisburg HS double/double machine is off the boards and will join the North Carolina Wesleyan Bishops as they look to make a run at another conference championship. He’s the type of player that doesn’t mind doing any of the dirty work for his team, and we feel that he can make nice strides with his development over the next few years.

Finishing Top 5 in rebounding and blocked shots, he showed that he’s able to make a nice impact on games without scoring the ball. He does a nice job of finding a body to box out whenever a shot goes up and throughout the day, he was able to defend at a high level without fouling.

Portis has been a dominating force down low this year, using his size to dominate the glass and opposing paint defenders. He’s averaging an absurd double double of 17 points and 13 rebounds a game, including a big night against Falls Lake where he was the best player on the floor. He is a physical post player that overpowers guys for rebounds, and uses it to his advantage. His post skill is still improving, but he still is able to score against similarly sized forwards. Look for more gaudy numbers from him.
