Scout's top performers over the holiday's.....
Trevon Duval
IMG AcademyBradenton, FL
6'3" / 190 lbs
Analysis
A slick, quick backcourt performer who has grown to 6-3, Duval already is tested on both the EYBL and Under Armour circuits and has won summer championships in both leagues. He's an excellent scorer and playmaker with impressive athleticism. Duval is a terrific finisher and arguably the best lay up maker in high school basketball. He does a great job of adjusting his shots at the rim and plays well through contact. Duval has also improved as a playmaker and a passer. We love his confidence and unflappable demeanor along with his tough defense. The next step in his development is becoming more consistent as a shooter. His shot mechanics certainly aren't broke and he's capable of making shots, but becoming more consistent as a shooter is a key. Duval is currently the top point guard in the class of 2017.
In a match up with Collin Sexton, Trevon Duval played his style of game and showed off his tremendous vision and passing ability. In fact, we’ve known Duval was a talented passer for quite some time, but it was more eye opening in this setting. Duval was calm, found ways to get into the paint and consistently created shot opportunities for his teammates. To go with his passing ability, Duval also showed off a ridiculously quick first step, tremendous ball handling ability and finished in a variety of ways at the rim. There’s a reason he’s regarded as the No. 1 point guard prospect in the 2017 class and he showed that on Friday.
