Scouting Summary

Reid Ducharme is a shot maker. He has great positional size and a smooth, repeatable, compact shooting stroke. Ducharme has great balance, both off the bounce and the catch. He has a repeatable release point on his shot and gets his body squared off movement. There will be lateral questions, but he is a high-IQ team defender. He has solid explosion when he gets a running start. Ducharme can play upright at times but can attack closeouts and get to the rim. The 6-6 wing plays with toughness and is a good positional rebounder. Sister plays at Connecticut. – On3’s Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst
