The junior combo forward averaged 10.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game while contributing to one of the state’s top programs. With good size and strength, he brings a physical presence to the frontcourt and plays with a consistently high motor. Offensively, he can score on the block using his frame and touch, and he is capable of stepping out and knocking down midrange shots.
He moves well for his size, showing good mobility in transition and in defensive rotations. His versatility on the defensive end — with the ability to guard multiple frontcourt spots and compete on the glass — adds even more value to his overall profile.
