Pitt Basketball 2019 Class

Justin Champagnie, Bishop Loughlin Memorial HS (Brooklyn, NY)- First of all, let's get the pronunciation out of the way. It's "sham penny". Now, on to his actual skills.

At a very athletic and long 6'6", Champagnie is an excellent above the rim athlete with a lean, but strong build. He is tough as nails in the paint, and is a very good rebounder and defender. He also can handle the ball very well, especially on the fast break. As far as shooting, he's more of a scorer than a shooter, and does most of his scoring in transition, on put backs, and with midrange shooting.
