If a big can protect the rim, catch and finish in the paint and set hard screens, he’ll have a chance to impact winning. Lovinsky does all three of those things and knows exactly what he is on the basketball court. I love players who don’t try and do too much and stick to what’s effective in their game. Those players are the easiest to coach and usually help impact winning. With Lovinsky and Khaz Simon back as seniors, Licking Heights could be a sneaky Division II team this season.
