6’2 2020 Uziel Muteba (Heritage IJN)
6’2 2020 Uziel Muteba is a slender and athletic shooting guard. He has tremendous 3-point shooting range. In the win over Ben Lippen, Muteba finished with a team high 17 points including five 3-pointers. We were impressed with his overall intensity, not to mention his tenacity on the defensive end of the court. Muteba has really quick feet and active hands and doesn’t mind getting right into the opposing player’s grill.
