Merrick is a well-rounded, big and athletic wing who completes Hotchkiss’ trio of physically-imposing wing/forwards. The 6-foot-6 wing does literally everything for his squad—he defends every position, he rebounds the basketball, he scores in transition, and he sets up his teammates for easy points. Some improved outside shooting and offensive pop would probably help him earn minutes immediately for Harvard next season, but he’s still additive in almost every way despite those deficiencies. Merrick deserves a ton of credit for this win and the overall season for Hotchkiss.
