USC basketball: Danilo Dragovic impressed his high school coach

USC Danilo Dragovic, the newest member of the USC men's basketball team, didn't play a single game for North Hollywood Harvard-Westlake because of some eligibility issues following his move from Serbia. 

But from what Wolverines Coach Greg Hilliard saw in practice, the 6-foot-5 combo guard was impressive.

"He was by far our best outside shooter with the most range," Hilliard said by phone Wednesday. "He could handle with either hand and finish with big dunks at the rim." 

How impressive is Dragovic is a shooter? 

To answer that, Hilliard relayed this story.

Hilliard's practices include a drill in which players have to make five shots from eight different spots on the floor in less than four minutes. Well, Dragovic made all 40 shots and then he moved into what they call "plus time," where he tried to make as many shots as he could before his time ran out. He made 25 more, which tied the drill's all-time record set by forward Renaldo Woolridge, who plays at Tennessee.
