He’s an athletic player that can be as good as he wants to be when he’s locked in and playing the game with a high amount of energy. His potential to be one of the better defenders in the area was on full display as well as his ability to rebound the ball at a high level.
The perimeter shooting display that he put on in their matchup with 71st HS was one of the better shooting performances that we have seen this year. He knocked down five three-point shots, finishing with 21 Points on the night and providing another threat for the Monarch squad that will look to make a run at a state and national championship.
Highlights
Put together one of his better all-around games of the season in their matchup with TCS. He knocked down shots from three point land at a nice rate, rebounded the ball at a solid rate and got a good amount of his offense within the flow of the team offense. He seems to be more comfortable with his role on this squad and we only expect for him to continue to progress over the remainder of the year and into the summer.

He’s continuing to progress slowly but surely and has put together some solid showings in back-to-back games. His midrange and perimeter shots are falling for him with more consistency and he’s making a good number of players for his teammates by using his ability to pass the ball.
Special players find a way to make an impact on games even when they are having an off-shooting day and that’s what we saw some Fulton. His lack of points didn’t affect how hard he played and when they night was over, he still finished with 17 points & 11 rebounds simply off of how hard he competed on both ends of the floor.
