“I just try to do the best for the team. Whether it is playmaking and getting guys open or taking myself to the basket and getting to the free throw line.”
He credits a lot of his development to playing with Chicago Lockdown on the travel team circuit.
“I think I definitely improved with my shooting and overall I keep getting better everyday thanks to all the hard work we put in with Lockdown.”
What colleges has he been in contact with?
“A few teams I have talked to including Western Illinois, Brown, and Cornell.”
Western Illinois is a program that he has visited.
