Geeter is special prospect and not the type of player that you get to see every day. He’s a versatile as they come. I’ve seen him play literally every position on the floor at the prep level. Geeter can bang in the paint with elite bigs as well set the offense as a point forward. He’s a weapon from any spot on the floor and a matchup nightmare for opposing coaches. Geeter is a high level 2 way player. He relishes the opportunity to guard the best of the best and he’s effective in doing so. Geeter and gritty defense frustrates opponents as he makes them battle for everything they get on every possession. He is the definition of a team player. He is ready and willing to play whatever role his coach needs him to fill. Not only will Geeter fill any role, but he’ll do it and be the best at it. Winning is very important to him coaches give him rave reviews for how he approaches the game.
