Expert Analysis
Devin Ugland | Prep Hoops Scout
Wansa was one of the toughest covers in the gym Saturday because of his combination of strength, physicality and a versatile offensive toolbox. The 6-foot-4 lefty got to any spot he wanted off the dribble with his frame and off arm serving as a stabilizer to keep defenders on his hip which allowed him to get to the rim and absorb, finish through contact. Wansa wasn’t just a bully-ball guy, either, with his footwork off two feet and soft touch allowed him to score with finesse in the lane.

Wansa is a shifty player that can score the ball in a variety of ways, and puts up points in volume. The 6-foot-3 lead guard has dynamic handles, shifty moves to create space from his defender, with use of the hesitation, the crossover, and the step-back, is accurate with the 3-ball off the bounce or the catch, uses the pump-fake to get his defender off the ground, which opens up lanes for him to attack, and has a smooth pull-up jumper from the elbows or the baseline. Wansa has a quick first step off the dribble, the strength to absorb contact in the paint, and uses the Euro-step and reverse lay-ups to score over height at the basket. Wansa had a strong showing in his team’s loss to Inglewood, as he would drop 27 points, connecting on 5 threes, and showed he can put up points quickly with range beyond the arc.
