, you will soon. Last season’s Class 3A Most Improved Player turned more heads at the Top 250 Expo. The southpaw does so many things to help a team win. Standing close to 6-foot-6, Dwight is a bouncy swingman that can score at multiple levels. He has a 3&D skill set with his three-point shooting and ability to defend all over the floor, but he can do much more than just that. He snatches rebounds and starts his own fastbreak. He was able to get to the rim throughout camp, finishing with highlight dunks but also showing finesse with his tear drop floater. Dwight’s motor keeps him involved with every play. He’s a good-looking prospect starting to gain traction with college coaches. Zakariyya is a GameChanger.
