Dustin Bunton is an extremely versatile 6’4” SF that is heading into his senior year at Cleveland HS in Cleveland, Tennessee. The Blue Raiders have a perennial player on the state stage every season and based on returning payers and Dustin’s summer development, this season should be no exception! Dustin has the ability to play multiple positions on both ends of the court, and his defensive presence can be very problematic for opposing teams as he can truly defend 4 positions naturally. He can stretch the defense with a consistent shot that makes defenses show respect and has a knack for putting the ball on the floor, getting to the basket, and finishing strong through contact. However, his best attribute may very well be his extremely high basketball IQ. Dustin plays his summer ball for the very well respected Coach Chip Smith and the Tennessee Tigers, which alone, ensures he understands the game and will be ready to play at the next level. The term “hidden gem” can often be over used, but in Dustin’s case, it is very fitting.
