He is a solid all around player if you read the scouting reports on espn penetrating and get by defenders is the least of his worries. Morris is NBA type point guard so you cant even compare Grady and him. He will have a great career for us the only question is how soon he can adapt to college hoops I have seen Darius play in person and he is going to be way better than Grady by the time he hits Ann Arbor.

Really hard to answer but here are some thinking points... Size: Darius has the clear advantage Speed: Kelvin has the clear advantage Experience: Kelvin has the clear advantage Shooting: I'd go with Kelvin right now... Penetrating Ability: I'd go with Darius Finishing at the rim: I don't think this is the best part of either of their games... Darius probably has more potential because of his size. I think Darius definitely contributes next year though. I think it's safe to say that he will bring more than Dave Merritt. Good question…

Really hard to answer but here are some thinking points…

Size: Darius has the clear advantage
Speed: Kelvin has the clear advantage
Experience: Kelvin has the clear advantage
Shooting: I’d go with Kelvin right now…
Penetrating Ability: I’d go with Darius
Finishing at the rim: I don’t think this is the best part of either of their games… Darius probably has more potential because of his size.

I think Darius definitely contributes next year though. I think it’s safe to say that he will bring more than Dave Merritt.

Probably is a good thing that he goes to Windward though.

Not sure who he plays AAU for but I think being at Windward has sheltered him a bit from the negative influences of the prep basketball scene. I don't think it was just his ability on the court that led Beilein to recruit a kid from across the country. Very cool interview.
