Other Info:
- Physical & Mental: Shows a real mental toughness. Is in excellent physical condition and has ability to out run anyone on the floor for the entire game. Needs to work on his mental attitude and stubbornness.
- Ball Skills: Very good ball handling in the open floor and in traffic. Can take his opponent off the dribble with ease.
- Offense: Has terrific ability in the open court, transition game. Needs to work on developing a consistent outside shot; especially his three point range. Can easily get to the basket and finish or pass out to his teammates' strength. Outside shooting is solid when he receives the pass, not when he creates his shot.
- Rebounding: Above average rebounder for his size. Has good vertical which allows him to rebound over other guards.
- Defense: Possesses the speed/quickness to keep his opponents in front of him at all times. Excellent lateral movement on the defensive end of the floor. Denies passing lanes.
- Game Knowledge: Excellent overall knowledge of the game.
- Strengths: Strength, quickness, ball handling, explosiveness, creating open shots for his teammates.
- Opportunities for Improvement: Needs to move without the ball on offense more.
- Overall Comments: Donovan is a solid overall player. He can be selfish at times, but when he is sharing the ball, his teammates continue to get open looks. He needs to continue to work on his leadership skills and improve body language on and off the court. By improving his weaknesses, Donovan can definitely play at the next level.
