Continue ReadingFinished second overall in scoring, averaging just under 20 Points per contest, which included a 27 Point performance in their first-round matchup. He understands how to use his height, length and athleticism to make plays above the rim and didn’t settle for outside shots too often.
Highlights
One of the better rebounders that we saw throughout the event, he consistently put himself in position for rebounds on both ends of the floor. He finds a body to box out whenever a shot goes up and doesn’t allow himself to be boxed out easily, NC Wesleyan fans should be excited about what he can potentially bring to the Bishops.
Easily one of the top overall performers at the event, he made a high impact on games in numerous ways consistently. Finishing in the Top 5 in PPG, scoring the ball from all three levels without much of an issue but also making just as big of an impact with his ability to rebound and defend.
Took over the PG duties for his team and was solid from start to finish throughout the weekend. He didn’t turn the ball over often, did a solid job of getting his team into their sets and stepped up to score the ball when it was needed.
Highlights
An absolute beast on the court, there weren’t many players that could stop him when he decided to attack the basket. He’s athletic, has outstanding upper body strength and plays the game with a high motor.

This young man can flat out play the game and is a player that could be a very nice pickup for a program that may be looking for a Guard. The 6’5 combo scored the ball at a very high rate, leading the division in scoring at just under 22 Points per contest. He understands how to get to his spots and finishes well in traffic.
Consistent would be the best way to describe his production throughout the event. He doesn’t get too high or too low, but you can count on him to make high IQ plays offensively while being just as productive on the defensive end of the floor.
