While the Utah men's basketball team prepares for the 2013-14 season, UtahUtes.com will spotlight its new members in a weekly segment, `Getting to Know U.'
Today's spotlight is on freshman Ahmad Fields. A 6-foot-5 shooting guard out of Washington D.C., Fields is a versatile wing that can shoot from the perimeter as well as attack the glass and break defenders down off the dribble. His length and quickness, as well as court awareness, are welcome additions to the Utes backcourt. Fields, who can play multiple positions, starred at Massanutten Military Academy in Virginia where he averaged 17 points per game. Fields also suited up for DC Assault, one of the most renowned AAU programs in the country.
