Born had a fantastic junior year, helping lead the Warriors to the 4A state tournament and controlling games on both ends of the floor with his high IQ and understanding of the game, as well as his remarkable talent. He’s an efficient scorer who can invert the offense and initiate from the block, taking smaller defenders down there and scoring or facilitating.
