Summary:
Markis McDuffie is a very athletic swingman that can shoot and defend, and he will bring plenty of energy to teams when he is in games.
He had his ups and downs last year, and while he had a less than stellar junior season, he showed enough flashes and potential to warrant second round consideration. He has had a pretty good senior season, and he could end up being a second round pick in 2019.
