Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’ve been told I’m “unorthodox but effective.” I take that to mean that I don’t look like I should be able to do what I do. I get called “baby Jokiic” or “Luka” a lot by opponents and teammates because of the effectiveness I have on the floor. I can score from anywhere on the floor, I make the right reads for passes and I have a nose for rebounds.

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

Basketball is fun for me, and I love it. I work on being mentally tough so I can control my emotions on the court. I understand that the “conditions aren’t always perfect” and it’s my job to show up and play my game regardless.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for any opportunity to play ball at the next level. I’d prefer to stay close-ish to home but I am looking for a coach that sees what I bring to the table and has a plan for how I can make their team better.
