DMV Preps Selects Myles Stute as MVP of the Coach Francis Classic

Myles Stute is a high energy wing guard the can score in a variety of ways. He can get to the rim in transition and finishes with authority or he can stop and knock down a pull up jumper. His three point shot is lethal and he range to 25-feet + and knocks it down with consistency; defenders must respect him at all times.

From the wing Stute probes the defense looking for an opening to attack to score or draw and kick to an open teammate; he show great vision, has a unselfish nature, and is committed to making the high IQ right basketball play. Stute attacks the top foot of defenders and possesses a great first step; his quick catch and go move is extremely effective made more potent by his shooting ability.   

At 6’5 Myles is capable of defending multiple positions and could develop into a lock down defender in the future because of his size and physicality.  His natural ability to score and fluid nature in which he does it speaks to tremendously high ceiling; Stute is just beginning to combine elite level athleticism with an already mature and diverse skill set – we honestly assert that Stute will be and remain in the conversation as one of the top prospects in the DMV for years to come and conversely given the strength of the class of the market; look for him to also impact the national ranking boards.  For those that didn’t know he’s one of the areas bests kept secrets – but not any longer Stute is here to stay.

Myles Stute was selected as the DMV Preps MVP of the Coach Francis Classic after posting 23-points, 7-rebounds, 2-assist, on 9-14 shooting, and 5-10 from behind the stripe for Tea Downtown; join us tomorrow when we name the Team Uptowns MVP from the Coach Francis Classic.

The 6 Degrees of Purple - Malcom Dread & Myles Stute

Malcom Dread just oozes potential at the wing position. The willowy 3-man runs like a deer, handles the ball like a guard, and is developing catapult-like explosiveness around the basket.   We have noted a very quick 1st step and he has a nice floater as well. He rebounds well inside and outside his area and can lead the break due to his nifty handle and astute court vision. He handed out a number of high-level passes this past weekend in Pennsylvania leading his team with running mate Keno Lilly to a championship where he also showed he can step out and knock down the 3-point shot.

Dread like his big-brother who is starring for the Gonzaga Purple Eagles is developing into one of the elite wing prospects in the country. If he is willing to work on extending his perimeter shooting range, ball skills and decision making his upside is tremendous. WCAC schools, IAC schools, and a host of others are monitoring his progress.

 

Myles Stute starred for Minneapolis Fab before dropping anchor in the DMV; Stute immediately showed his tremendous and diverse skill-set while standing a versatile 6’5.  Stute is a combination forward that runs the floor and can finish well around the rim.

He is an exceptionally good scorer that can hit the open jumper well beyond the strip by spotting up or when he receives kick outs created by dribble penetration – without question he must be considered one of the best shooter in the class in the area. Stute has also shown the ability to hitting the mid- range shots mostly off the catch but we have seen him work off the deck as well. He clearly  has three point range and gets his share of area rebounds. He creates some match-up problems because he can stretch the defense with his shot making ability especially when he has a size advantage or when playing the power forward position.

Overall this combination forward has good upside. Myles proved that he can also serve as a good pressure free ball handler and rebounds well in his area. We like that he communicates, plays with good energy, effort and competes each possession.  Since he is new to the area, we are such any institution would be interested in his services but he is already spoken for – as Stute will be suiting up for the Gonzaga Purple Eagles in Washington, DC.
