Armoni Portis

2025 PG/SG Armoni Portis from De La Salle (MI) is a big-time player. This kid has serious game and can do a little bit of everything. The most impressive thing about Armoni is his overall shooting ability on pull-up jump shots, step-backs, catch-and-shoot 3s and Curry-range game winners. The first time watching him play, I noticed his natural PG abilities from attacking with nice assists and directing his teammates to get to their spots. Armoni’s passing ability is high level, as well as his shooting ability.  Another great thing about him is his defensive pressure on ball and anticipation off the ball to create trouble for the other team. He has won a state championship already and has a D1 game, skill set and size.   Armoni is very creative with his dribbling and handles pressure like a polished veteran with a lot of confidence and poise. It’s very easy for him to get to the basket at any time or reach his spots for easy jumpers which are basically automatic. Against Catholic Central, I did not see him miss a single pull-up, and I witnessed him hitting a deep game-winning 3 (heavily contested) like it was nothing. I can tell he has put many years in the gym.   The only things Armoni needs to improve on is getting a little stronger to finish more consistently and generate more And-1 opportunities. If he’s more aggressive, he could average 30-40 points a game. But his natural point guard abilities frequently make the right play. When his team needs him, something clicks and Armoni becomes a relentless bucket-getter! Truly impressed with his game, shooting ability, defense, and poise as a point guard. — DJ Blanks, ScoutU Basketball Scout, DJ@ScoutU.com, 216-990-8617
