We named Damaryon Fishburn Damaryon Fishburn 6'4" | CG Trillium Academy | 2023 State MI the MOP at the Flight Hankamp Open Run at Lake Michigan College. He sent a big message at this event. Quite simply, he’s one of the most underrated players in the state of Michigan. Fishburn showed a combination of positional size, strength, and ball skills that made him an incredibly tough cover. He proved that he has the ability to score in a wide variety of ways. Early in the day, he had a physical pout back bucket as well as a deep triple. When working on the baseline, Fishburn flaunted a beautiful mid range fadeaway jumper. The ball came soft out of his hands with a lot of touch. He was able to put the ball on the floor and slice through the defense as well. Fishburn finished at the rim at a very high percentage and was able to pick up buckets at the rim in traffic. He was able to rise up and shoot his mid range pull up jumper over top of the defense. Fishburn was solid defensively as well. He used his length to limit the passing options for the man he covered and played solid vertical defense, even picking up a couple blocks on the day.
