He was all state last season averaged 28 points per game with 115 threes made at 43%. He dropped 37 in his first game of the day at The Battle of the Borders finals tournament. Not only is he a great shooter, he is an all level scorer. He is long for 6'3 and can get to the basket with a variety of moves. Once he gets around the rim he is excellent at finishing. Often times using some added creativity to avoid the defense. He is a good bet to throw down a dunk in any game which speaks to his improved athleticism. He is the leader for Napavine, and when he gets his team going, he is that much better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
