Xavier Rathan-Mayes and the 'D-Will Effect'

"D-Will and Kobe are my favorite players. I pattern my game after D-Will a lot -- big, scoring guard, physical," said Rathan-Mayes, a 2013 prospect. "A lot of people say I play like him. Being compared to him is pretty special. That's just an honor for me. I have a long way to go. It's a lot of work left to do. But it's somebody I look up to."
