Myers' coach at Douglas High School Corey Thacker also commends Myers' work ethic.
"In school, things come very naturally [to him]," said Thacker of Myers, who boasts a 4.0 unweighted GPA. "In basketball he has to work for everything he's got, and he's worked very hard to get to the place he is right now."
Hill-Thomas expects Myers to make a smooth transition to college.
“He’s a special kid,” Hill-Thomas said. “He’s a kid who gives you everything he’s got on the court and in the classroom.”
“It’s a great situation,” he added. “He’ll do very well there."
