He can score in a variety of ways and brings a level of high-energy to the game. He has a great motor that goes and goes. “My game is exciting. I play with a passion and with a chip on my shoulder. I’m very versatile on both offense and defense. I can play 1-3 on offense but I can also guard 1-4 on defense. I’m also very vocal on the court and a great leader among my teammates. Mentally my game is on a different level than most. I work hard and it shows in my game.” Another key newcomer is Demilade “Damion” Adelekun (Soph.)
