The Word
“He’s one of the best (high school) guards I’ve seen. He combines, size, scoring ability and basketball I.Q. He’s been extremely well coached and he possesses a great passion for the game – I’ve always been impressed with how much DeAngelo loves basketball. In college, he’ll be a terrific wing guard or combo guard. He’s a kid who will have the chance to step in his freshman year and be a major contributor.”
