The Doty name should be familiar to followers of the PAISAA scene, as incoming Syracuse transfer Gavin starred at Phelps before ultimately heading back to the Central NY area for high school and leading Siena to a near-upset of Duke in the NCAA tournament. Now it’s his brother Xavier’s turn to take on the Keystone State, and the younger Doty made himself right at home during the June live periods as Perkiomen went 7-1 across the two weekends. Doty makes an impact similar to his older brother in that he plays with an unrelenting motor on both ends of the floor with a natural feel for constantly staying around the ball. He’s also a reliably dangerous shooter from the perimeter with flashes of athletic finishing when he can get into open space. Doty still has work to do on building up his body and experience to gain in more talent-rich environments coming down from Fulton (NY), but the building blocks are there for him to blossom into a scholarship-level auxiliary guard in the coming years.

Doty made a splash in his team’s matchup against OSL, delivering a strong all-around performance highlighted by his perimeter shooting. He converted several shots from beyond the arc and consistently made defenses pay when given space. Beyond his scoring, Doty showed good feel as a playmaker, finding teammates in the right spots and helping facilitate the offense. He also rebounded at a high level for a guard, using his instincts and positioning to track down boards and finish possessions. Doty is a sneaky athlete as well, possessing more burst and explosiveness than he may initially appear to have. His combination of shooting, playmaking, rebounding, and athleticism made him one of the more impactful guards on the floor.
