Atkins is definitely a Mick Cronin player. Ten days ago, I wrote:

"6-9 center Davion Atkins is very active. He does a very nice job of hedging the screen and getting back under the basket. He isn't quite as quick about it as Adem Bona (who is?), but he seems very advanced on defense for a high-school kid. He is also a very good rebounder. He has long arms and uses them.

"Atkins is thin and needs to put on some muscle. He was getting pushed around a bit by the opposing center. He has some decent footwork around the basket, but he can improve that. He has a nice looking three-point shot even if it didn't go in much. I expect by the time he gets to college he will be enough of an outside threat to keep teams honest."
