Class of 2019 guard Dahmir Bishop is ready to make a national name for himself this AAU season with K-Low Elite. The Philadelphia native has been expanding his game and has seen big results. His confidence and knack for scoring the ball has made him one of the best prospects throughout the northeast in the junior class. He spoke to Hoop Group Insider on his goals for this year.
Q: What would you say you have improved most with your game?
A: “I think now I’ve been able to display my talents more,” he said. “The past couple of years I wasn’t ready to take the next step like I have now. Ever since then I have just been working.”
Q: What would you say separates yourself from others on the court?
A: “I think what separates me is that I’m not afraid to play anyone,” he said. “I’d consider myself as being able to score on any level especially when I’m comfortable.”
Q: Everyone has their own personal motivation. What would you say is your personal motivation on the floor?
A: “The thing that really drives me right now is how I was looked over by everyone when I was younger,” he said. “When I was younger I wasn’t really that good, but that drives me now. I want to show everyone how good I am now.”
Q: Who are some of the colleges that are in the mix with you?
A: “Marquette, Seton Hall, Rutgers, Penn State, La Salle, Temple, Saint Joseph’s, VCU, Bowling Green and some more,” he said.
Q: What have some of these schools told you that they like about you?
A: “Everyone says that they like how I am a good person first,” he said. “They like that I don’t play very emotional and I get that from coaches often.”
Q: You have become a big name in the northeast. What do you see is the next step for you?
A: “My mindset is to go get anything I can,” he said. “I want to be the greatest now that I’m in the spot I’m in. I just want to keep raising the bar and be the best in every area of my game.”
