Top-30 prospect Tyrese Proctor sets commitment date

The No. 26 overall prospect in the 2023 class, Tyrese Proctor, will announce his commitment on Thursday, April 7th, he tells On3.

The 6-foot-4 point guard out of Canberra (AUS) NBA Global Academy is set to decide between Arizona, Duke, and the G-League. He’s officially visited both the Wildcats and the Blue Devils.

In a previous interview with On3, Proctor broke down his two college options.

Proctor talks Arizona and Duke

Arizona: “The staff made it clear how much they wanted me and Tommy (Lloyd) explained how essential I would be in the program if I went there. The fans in Tuscon were really passionate about their basketball. There aren’t a lot of teams and stuff around there so it was clear how big and how involved they were in Arizona basketball.  It sort of surprised me how the whole town rallied around the basketball team so that was pretty cool. Overall, it was pretty good.”

Duke: “Those Crazies were something else. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was a wild atmosphere and it was really cool to be a part of. I felt like I had a good connection to the staff and the people there. The system that they have there is really elite and I really enjoyed that visit too. The whole experience was pretty cool, you know meeting Coach K. Not many people get to do that and especially talk to him on a deeper level.”

Scouting Report

“Tyrese Proctor has a smooth quality to his game. What sticks out immediately is his jump shot, off the catch. When his feet are set, and he gets a clean look, you can count it. Proctor is also an excellent passer, able to distribute the ball to, and from, all angles of the court. He will have to continue working on shooting off the dribble – especially going left – and tightening his handle when being pressured. There is no denying Proctor’s extensive IQ, it will be interesting how much explosive burst he can gain as he continues to age.” – Jamie Shaw, On3’s National Recruiting Analyst
