Read he balled out at the AAU Showcase
Matt Coleman PG 6’2 165 Class: 2017 Norfolk, VA
Every now and then you stumble across a young player who already strikes you as potential pro. Entering his sophomore season, Coleman brings to mind comparisons of a young Rajon Rondo. Long and athletic with extremely quick hands, Coleman causes havoc with his defensive pressure. While he needs to get stronger, Coleman projects as a lockdown defender who will rack up deflections and steals. Offensively, Coleman has a tremendous feel for the game and shows the leadership ability to guide his older teammates to the right spots. Very unselfish, Coleman makes players around him better and showed a willingness to get his Boo Williams teammate Adebayo involved. He has a very quick first step and an explosive vertical which allowed him to throw down a nasty baseline jam early in the week. While the lefty knocked down some mid-range jumpers, his outside shot will need improvement for the next level. It is apparent that Coleman has more upside than any other player in the event and will continue to collect offers from the top schools in the country to go along with Virginia, VCU and Virginia Tech’s current offers.
