Matthew Hurt wants to play fast and control the tempo

Posted Oct 11, 2018
At the USA Basketball Junior National Team minicamp over the weekend, Matthew Hurt said his choice will come down to the school that plays with a style that matches his own. “More up-tempo,” he said. “I grab the rebound, push it up the floor by myself. And then just playing fast, that’s my main objective.” He’s also interested to see how schools develop potential one-and-done players. (USA Today)
