About Vatan

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Left handed guard. Currently averaging 16 points and 7 assists per game during the 24/25 school season.

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

Selfless team player and leader who likes to assist as much as scoring. My coaches love my work-ethic, basketball IQ and coachability. My mentality is never to give up and always go for the win, meanwhile always learn from the losses.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Member of: National Honors Society Student Athlete Scholars Student Council MU ALPHA THETA

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Basketball is a team sport. We need to support, guide and elevate each other.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

No.

Vatan played with relentless effort by diving into possessions on both ends and refusing to take plays off. He stood out as a ball-handling creator, especially in transition, where he pushed pace and made smart decisions. Whether fighting through contact to finish or drawing defenders and kicking out, he consistently made the right read. Showed that he can be a gritty, high-motor guard who impacts winning with toughness.
