I've mentioned Dupree playing some three in the past, I'd like to step back from that unless Pitino goes with a much smaller line-up. Not sure why but he looked bigger last summer than I thought he was. Dupree is a 6-foot-3, really long two guard and I like this prep school video against top competition to evaluate. Again, always great? No. There are misses and some D mistakes. But I like how Dupree gets rim, there are things he's doing better on D, and the three late baskets down the stretch are clutch to his team making the late run.
He's ranked back end 4 star by Scout, 134th in country three star by Rivals. Where should he be? My gut feel is somewhere between but I don't watch all the other national talent like those guys do so tough to tell.
I will say this, he was so impressive in July I may have been a bit skewed on what to expect. I still think he's going to be really, really good. Especially in this offense. I may have one time said "plays like a smaller in all ways Rashad Vaughn". That may have been too strong as what I saw in this national prep event was different. Good player, strong recruit.
