He was impressive in getting to his spots and creating opportunities to get to the free throw line, where he went 15-of-16, including 9-for-9 in the final game of the session.

He produced 6.0 PPG and 3.0 RPG on 58.3 percent shooting from the field in just 13 minutes of action during Session II.

He's a guard prospect who's shown he can impact the game with his playmaking, scoring, rebounding and defending.
