About Vatan

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Left handed guard. Currently averaging 16 points and 7 assists per game during the 24/25 school season.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Selfless team player and leader who likes to assist as much as scoring. My coaches love my work-ethic, basketball IQ and coachability. My mentality is never to give up and always go for the win, meanwhile always learn from the losses.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Member of: National Honors Society Student Athlete Scholars Student Council MU ALPHA THETA

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Basketball is a team sport. We need to support, guide and elevate each other.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

No.

Vatan shows the frame and length to play the guard and wing spots with a developing scoring toolkit that helps him attack closeouts and finish at the rim. He can improve by tightening his agility and handle for better burst and creation off the bounce and refining footwork to finish through contact and convert midrange opportunities. He could benefit from sharper defensive footwork that will help him guard multiple positions and sustain minutes at a higher level.
