Ask Donta Scott’s teammates about him and you’ll get a playful, colorful mix of responses.
Sophomore center Jalen Smith has described the rookie as an “animal” in several different interviews this season. Sophomore wing Aaron Wiggins has called Scott a “wild guy.” Junior guard Darryl Morsell has likened him to a freight train, a bull and seemingly everything in between.
“I don’t even know how to explain Donta,” Morsell said. “Donta’s like a pitbull. If I go in the back alley, I want Donta with me, because I know he’s going to fight for me, he’s going to give it his all.”
As soon as he joined the Terps in College Park, Md., Scott quickly impressed with his toughness and versatility. Those aren’t traits typically ascribed to freshman, but Scott doesn’t look or play like a freshman.
