another tidbit

" -- Funny, but neither of Jordan’s sons look all that much like him. Maybe it’s because both wore their hair long, cornrowed and in dreadlocks. I guess they’re trying to enjoy it while they’ve still got it. In addition, Marcus Jordan played in wire-rimmed glasses that made him look more like Franklin D. Roosevelt than his famous father (assuming you can picture FDR black and wearing dreadlocks).

Now, if a stranger arrived at the tournament looking for one of Jordan’s sons, he’d almost certainly pick out Dominque Sutton.

The physical resemblance between Sutton, a former Durham Jordan product who now plays at the Patterson School in Lenoir, and Jordan is astonishing. It’s something that Sutton clearly encourages – he wears No. 23; he shaves his head; he even wears a sweat band around his left biceps as Jordan did.

The 6-6 Sutton plays a Jordan-esque game in many ways. He might not have great elevation that the younger Jordan possessed, but he has superb quickness and good strength. He handles the ball well, works hard on defense and attacks the basket with ferocity. His problem is the same as Marcus Jordan’s – he cannot shoot the basketball. In this case, it’s not a question of a bad weekend, it’s a well-documented flaw in his game.

Sutton is likely to end up at Wake Forest, if he makes the grade academically. He can definitely be a useful ACC player as he is, but unless he develops a reliable shot, he’s not likely to be a star.

-- Sutton played for the DC Assault, along with Vaughn and Michael Beasley, an agile 6-9 forward whose one of the top 10-15 prospects in the Class of 2007. Beasley committed to UNC Charlotte, but is now expected to sign and play with Bon Huggins at Kansas State. So is former Pittsburgh commitment Herb Pope, a big man who played well at the TOC for the Pittsburgh Jots."

and

"Sutton is a superb athlete with explosive leaping ability. He can shoot well enough from the perimeter to keep defenders honest, though he'll need to work on his ballhandling to become a complete wing player in the ACC. His toughness in the paint is one of his strongest attributes, and the way he plays will remind some of current Texas Longhorns star P.J. Tucker.

Sutton will play with the Gaters next weekend in the Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions in North Carolina. The Gaters recently won the North Carolina state AAU title, and their one point loss to DC Assault in the quarterfinals in Charlottesville is their only loss of the season."

Thanks sys.

It sounds like Sutton is more of a post player than a wing. He just happens to be very undersized, and has guard skills similar to Hoskins or Charles Barkley.

i agree, i think he is pretty comparable to hoskins, though he looks/sounds like a bit more of a slasher and less of a back to basket presence.  but he also has 4 years to develop his shot.  with hoskins, the odds of developing a dependable outside shot are much lower.  either of them would project to be a big 12 star with a shot.
