Duane was the other prospect in camp that coaches were eager to see. Just 15 years old, Duane is way ahead of the curve. His biggest strength right now lies in his ability to get to the rim. He has outstanding body control and strength which allows his to finish plays most kids his age can't finish. He absorbs contact and is a good athlete. He had one 360 reverse layup that demonstrated the kind of finisher we're talking about. As he continues to improve as a ball-handler and shooter, the sky is the limit for this young Canadian.
I have already labelled him as the top prospect in his class, with a stellar 2009-2010 season playing against players up to 3 years older. Duane is an athletic combo guard that continues to improve his game with his sound work ethic. Since he plays with a scorer’s mentality, many people disregard his passing ability. To put it in simple terms, Notice is a flat out playmaker! For St. Michael`s it begins and ends with Duane (no disrespect to the squad). He showed signs of maturity at this tournament, and as a result, it seemed that he looked to get his teammates involved early. As the game wore on and St. Mike's got down, Duane forced a few shots that were outside the rhythm of the offence. Due to his freedom on the court, he has routinely gotten in the habbit of forcing tough shots. As Notice continues to mature, look for this area of his game to follow. With improved shot selection and improved handles, Duane has a chance to develope into an elite point guard, continuing the trend of great Toronto floor generals.
The undoubted leader of his varsity team at the youthful age of 15, Notice is physically developed beyond his years. This translates into frequent visits to the free throw line. His ability to absorb contact and finish strong is something that sets him apart from the rest of the kids in his class. Duane can do it all (shoot, pass, dribble, penetrate and defend) and as he continues to mature, his shot selection will improve along with the rest of these aspects. To top it off, Duane was clutch in his opening game against Pope, scoring a late game baseline floater to seal the deal. He is legitimately the top prospect in the class of 2013. It would be interesting to see where he would rank among American players.
