Entering the season with a reputation as one of the top prospects nationally in his class, the talented freshman looked every bit the part over the weekend. He played with confidence well beyond his years, attacking the rim decisively while showing the ability to knock down deep threes when given the opportunity. Against Clinton Grace, he connected on a trio of shots from beyond the arc to help OSL establish a lead it would never relinquish. Just as impressive was his willingness to compete on the defensive end, where he embraced the challenge of matching up with Butler commit Lonnie Lyons and made life difficult for the talented lead guard. His contributions on both ends were important as the Falcons held off a strong comeback effort from their Maryland counterparts.
