Elijah is one of those gritty players every coach wants on their team. He may not always fill the stat sheet with flashy numbers, but he remains a key part of the team’s success. Elijah is a fast and pesky defender that often takes on the opposing teams lead guard. When Elijah scores he likes to get to the middle of the paint for floaters or just finish at the rim with finesse. He is a very high IQ player that just simply makes the right plays. He has a nice shot and a great handle on the ball. Expect him to have a big impact on a tough Carl Hayden squad.
