Name: Dontel Rice
Height: 6’4″
Weight: 190
Position: Forward
School: Holmes
Hometown: Covington, KY
AAU: GameTime Magic
Class: 2012
Evaluation: Rice is one of the best athletes in Northern Kentucky. He puts on a show in warmups with his acrobatic dunks. He’s an undersized four man at the high-school level but doesn’t have much trouble because of his hops. He is consistently getting offensive put-backs, often in the form of thunderous tip-dunks. His range is limited to about 10-feet right now consistently so he’ll have to improve that and his handle needs to improve as well.
Bottom Line: Rice has great upside because of his athleticism. He needs to transition to the wing at the next level which will require him to develop his skills. He is a major sleeper in Kentucky’s 2012 class that could be a steal for someone.
Notes: Has had looks from schools all across the board from Division I to Division III/NAIA. He’s likely to prep for a year.
