Matt Ustaszewski
Title: PSW 12th Coach
Organization / School: UCSD Men's Water Polo
Recommendation: Duke is an aggressive counter attacker who works for advantages during the create section of the transition. When on balance he demonstrates correct forward action on his shot, allowing him to transfer energy from his legs and core all the way through to his wrist. Improved awareness during the front court has allowed for greater effectiveness of entering the ball to the center position. Defensively, he is a strong drive defender who properly lunges to the lane and has improved on giving water when engaged in a drive. He continues to show proper movements when going from 5 v 6 Base Position to Shot Block Base Position to the Close Out position on the shooter.
