Expert Analysis

Duvalier Johnson

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

Valdez is a player who I feel will be able to see JV and maybe even varsity time as a freshman with the way that he composed himself at the Centennial State Cup. He’s valuable and a dog defender who doesn’t allow any opposing guard to get comfortable. He plays off the ball, can handle ball handling duty when he has to, and pressure doesn’t slow him down. He found openings for teammates, created for himself, scored, and was efficient. He wants to get downhill and to his spots, and we saw that with some easy scoop layups. His attention to detail and instincts make him a young player worth getting a deeper look at, and I feel he will be a player we continue to see have solid outings. He’s definitely a name to watch moving forward.

Valdez made his impact felt through his movement and effort, particularly without the basketball. He consistently found ways to get open by cutting to the basket, showing strong instincts and timing as he worked within the flow of the offense. Valdez also contributed on the glass, crashing the boards and competing for rebounds on both ends of the floor. His ability to finish around the rim after cutting or securing offensive rebounds added valuable production for his team. His off ball awareness and willingness to do the little things stood out, making him an effective and efficient player who can contribute in multiple ways.
