Spear’s versatility is perhaps his most valuable tool. He is a prototypical three-level scorer who can pull up from beyond the arc and finish with finesse at the rim.
DaKari Spear’s older sister, Jewel is a star guard at Tennessee, and new Indiana assistant coach Rod Clark offered Spear a scholarship when he was an assistant at Tennessee. Hopefully this will help Indiana land DaKari Spear in the near future.
