Prospect Spotlight: Joseph Dwyer (2020)
An up and comer from Rogers High School. Class of 2020 Joseph Dwyer though young, can play at a high level and has very high IQ…
Joseph has a very intriguing combination of speed, fluidity and physicality on the wing. He is capable of knocking down perimeter jump shots, but can also use his speed to blow past his defender and expose mismatches against smaller defenders in the paint or off the dribble in transition and half-court situations.
Joseph had his defensive versatility on display this past season as his strength, length and lateral speed allow him to guard all 3-wing positions on the basketball court. He has a knack for jumping passing lanes and corralling steals, which lead to easy baskets on the other end. The rising sophomore has improved his ball skills and ability to create his own shot over the course of the spring and summer.
Joseph is loaded with basketball IQ and ability and, if his body continues to stretch out, could turn into a hot commodity for Division 2 and 3 schools come his senior year. The sophomore-to-be has the playmaking feel and unselfishness of a point guard, but can also operate and score off the wing as needed.
Joseph spoke about some of the things he has been working on during the off-season.
“My strengths are my shooting and ball handling I’ve been working on my defense and getting stronger I attend Rogers’s high school and am very excited for this year I have no recruiting currently but am excited to get that going this year.”
