High School Coach Eval: Justin attacks the paint with relentless aggression. He’s a physical crafty guard that uses an array moves to attack the basket. Justin is a tremendous rebounder who is a defensive nightmare in transition. He effectively creates his own shot or creates shots for his teammates. Justin is a very efficient offensive threat. He’s shoots 75% from the line and averages 10.2 free-throws a game. Not only is Justin an inside threat, his midrange game is good and he’s 42.4% from behind the arc. As Justin goes, our team goes. – Coach James Pope, Surry County HS Basketball
Coach Frank says: Justin is a physical and shifty guard who combines very good shot making skills with range and the ability to create his own shot on the drive. Justin has excellent vision and is a crafty facilitator yet he can also drive you and get to the basket with very good regularity. His first step is quick, his handle tight! His physicality benefits him on the defensive end as well as he is a very good rebounding guard. Justin is a relentless defender, active and harassing and his high motor effort on every possession sets the tone for a scrappy team. Justin is a consistent, clutch performer and his court presence and productivity raises the level of his teammates. They feed off him!
