The prototypical bruising, physical, power player that Xavier builds its program with, Dezmine Wells (#39 Scout, #66 Rivals, #35 ESPN) should fit right in on his first day on campus. Standing 6'5 with an excellent frame and great upper and lower body strength, Wells is an explosive player with superb body control and a decent skill set to go along with it.
On the offensive end, Wells does most of his damage slashing to the basket both on and off the ball, getting by mostly with rangy moves and the ability to change direction and contort his body around what the defense gives him. He is just a decent ball-handler and doesn't have a blazing first step, but he's very crafty using subtle changes of direction and footwork in combination with his bounciness and raw power, which allows him to create a variety of high percentage shots. Capable of finishing both on power moves at the rim or on under control floaters and pull-up jumpers inside 10 feet, Wells can hurt the defense in multiple ways once he gets into the paint.
Wells is similarly a threat operating off the ball, as he is active cutting to the basket where he can score on catch-and-finishes in the lane or soaring up for powerful alley-oop dunks. His shooting form isn't great, but he's capable of spotting up and knocking down an occasional three-pointer as well, at least enough to make defenses respect his range.
Defensively, Wells is similarly a very aggressive and physical player, showing a very good perimeter stance and making good use of his well-built frame and solid length, getting up into his man and being physical on and off the ball.
Looking forward, Wells has the chance to make a quick impact at the college level with his solidly developed skill set and very mature physical makeup, while he also still has a lot of room for development over the long term with his shooting and ball-handling.
