Coach Reid On Damar: “Damar is a diamond in the rough, a player who isn’t experienced but who has a tremendous upside and I think our fans will like his athletic ability. He is a tremendous jumper who is exciting to watch and he also has the ability to shoot the ball. How good Damar can be depends on how quickly he puts it all together. I know one thing, as he plays he will get better and better. He’s also a solid person and a good student; as a coach that really relates to basketball.”
