Dexter Strickland
6''3 combo guard that attends St. Patricks High School in New Jersey. He is learning to play point guard this year but he is adjusting quickly. Long arms (his wingspan has to be in the 6''9-6''11 range im not kidding) good shooter and displays poise and leadership skills. IMO he had a derrick rose type of feel for the game meaning he could be passive at times but he knows when to turn it on and off.
Great kid also not a knuckle head I had a couple chances to speak with him personally.

Re: Dexter Strickland
I will admit that video was the first time I am seeing him play. I do like what I see though. Huge arms, active, nice looking form on his shot and he looks like he is going to be a good defender.

Re: Dexter Strickland
Terrific talent. Bummed the Gators missed out on him. I am not a fan of Kenny Boynton's... sorry.

Re: Dexter Strickland
Great player, who plays very calm and he doesn't force anything. He has ridiculous potential. I liken him more than Boynton because he has the same skillset but is a better all around player and is more versatile.

Boynton is a player you shouldn't be bummed at all to land him if you do.

I've seen him play a bunch. He's a great offensive talent, but he's also a 'me' player and really rails on his teammates at times when things aren't going well. He plays on a team with a ton of talent, but they underachieve big time because the coach is incompetent and lets Boynton run the show while his teammates go through the motions. I like Boynton as a talent, but he's selfish.

I watched him tonight on ESPN, and he has something like 5 D1 teammates including Eloy Vargas and they got killed by a lesser talented Monsignor Pace team. Boynton was continually jacking up ridiculous shots from everywhere. Great skill set but isn't a good team player.
