Let's start out with his frame. He has wide shoulders and a solid upper-body. He can score over either shoulder, he makes the best of his time on the floor and won't wow you with any spectacular athleticism but Kurtas gets the job done every time he stepped on the floor for Team Curry.

Kurtas takes up space in the paint and he can run the floor well. He showed that he is capable of knocking down some mid-major shots and should be on the recruiting board for some low-to-mid major programs. He holds offers currently from Denver and Tennessee State and has been hearing from Charleston, UNC-Pembroke, Charleston Southern, Drexel and Army.
