Summary:

Marcus Derrickson is a tough, physical combo forward that can shoot and score the basketball, as he can knock down spot-up threes, and he can also score on off-ball motion plays.  He has good strength and a solid motor, and he can make hustle plays on both ends of the floor.​

Also, he will look to grab rebounds, and he may tend to be in the right spots defensively.  However, he may not be an explosive athlete, as that may limit his ability to create his own shot or defend at the next level.  Derrickson has recently declared to be in the 2018 NBA Draft, and he appears to be staying in, and he could be a potential second round pick if that is the case.
