Weaknesses

While he possesses a gritty nature and is more than willing to make an impact in other areas of the game, DiVincenzo’s stylings on the defensive end could use some improvement.

Some of that is due to DiVincenzo’s physical profile, as he’s armed with a 6’6″ wingspan (mind you, he tops out at 6’5″) and has trouble staying in front of opposing guards who are quicker than him at this stage.

No one can fault the now-former Wildcat for competing the way he does on that end of the floor, but as it stands, DiVincenzo’s defensive deficiencies will likely prevent him from becoming a starting-caliber player on the next level.

Additionally, there are some questions over DiVincenzo’s scoring consistency, which may be highlighted by the type of role he was asked to play over his time in the Quaker State.
