  • Final Evaluation Zavien Causey, of New Market (AL) Buckhorn HS, is a 6'3 170lb 2020 prospect from our Spring 2019 Atlanta camp. College coaches on camp staff identified Zavien as having division 1 potential. Zavien has elite level wingspan that makes the player a corner stone on the defensive end and can be even more effective with active hands/feet. Additionally, the prospect appears to have very good size for position when used properly remains advantageous on both sides of the ball. The extremely talented passer does a fantastic job distributing and seeing the floor with tremendous vision. The player is always anticipating where and when teammates will be open making it a joy for others to play with such a gifted passer. In terms of ball handling, it was one of the strongest aspects of the player's game. The player makes great use of change of speed and change of direction. The prospect's Basketball IQ definitely stood out at camp and proved to be really good. Through continued emphasis on making the right play through watching/learning the game, it can be a big advantage in recruiting. A big part of IQ is shot selection. Zavien does an excellent job of shooting the basketball with rhythm and possesses high-level knowledge between good/bad shots. This advantage will continue to develop by watching how this is done at various college levels. Making the extra pass and taking only open in-rhythm shots proved to be a very reliable asset for the prospect. The prospect was able to consistently knock down shots during camp showing to be a reliable asset. Shooting will continue to develop with form shooting and made game speed repetitions. We recommend making at least 500 game speed shots a day off the screen(curl/fades), off the bounce, spot shooting, etc. The talent did a tremendous job of finishing around the rim at the highest level. With great touch and composure with both hands, the player is nearly impossible to stop around the basket unless Dikembe Mutombo makes a comeback! The talented player is an explosive athlete proving to be a distinct advantage on both ends of the floor that has the athleticism that is in the top percentile of high school kids. The prospect is very strong for their age. The college game is an entirely different beast so continued strength development is crucial to prepare going against 23-24 year-olds. Combined with the player's excellent frame the player has the potential to have a definite physical advantage at the next level amongst their fellow incoming freshman. The talent had an impressive motor (highly coveted skill by college coaches) that we believe will translate well at the next level. College coaches will be impressed watching the talented prospects motor and from what we saw, the player had a physical and mental toughness that will be coveted at the next level. The player showed they were one of the best defenders both individually and team wise and should focus on their ability to be a stopper this upcoming season as college coaches will love this trait and will help them earn more minutes. Zavien has division 1 potential with continued hard work and development both in the classroom and on the hardwood. Can play the 2; 3. AAU Team: .
