What coaches have said:
DJ is a very heady, Point Guard that has all the intangibles a Point Guard needs.  After getting moved up to Varsity. DJ did a awesome job of playing the Point at the end of the Year Sleepy Thompson Tournament playing valuable minutes with a awesome assist to turn over ratio for the tournament.  I'm expecting great things from DJ.

"Dwayne is a very fine young player with great court awareness, an excellent ball handler who loves to get his teammates involved.  He is a pass first point guard that knows how to run a team.  If you aren't careful, he will beat you off the dribble to create or he will come down and knock down the jump shot.  He is a very good defensive player with quick hands and loves to jump in the passing lanes to get steals."
Coach John Manley
