Burkhamer on Canty: “Darion is a fundamentally
sound player. He loves to compete and loves
to practice. He will push our younger players every
day to get better. Darion played for a very demanding
junior college coach, so mentally he will be ready for
the Peach Belt Conference. He is another long, athletic
player who is very good off the bounce. Darion gets to
the rim and finishes plays. We feel he can become an
excellent perimeter defender for us.”
