NC State’s high-flying wing with a scorer’s touch
Courtney Fells is best remembered as a versatile 6-5 wing for NC State who could score in bunches, attack the rim, and stretch defenses with the three-ball; in the 2008-09 season, he had 1,060 career points and was praised by observers as an elite-defender-type wing with a modern skill set. His differentiator was two-way value: athletic, physical, and capable of highlight plays while also bringing toughness on the perimeter. If you want a competitive, pro-style wing who can impact both ends, he’s the kind of player who fits the bill.
