His quick-twitch, shifty approach to break down his man and create space for himself never seems to fail. That was held true in their win over West Oaks (FL) as the Mississippi State pledge hung 31 points, grabbed five rebounds, dished out four dimes, and registered three steals in the showing.

There were a few spurts where he seemed to be playing in a rush, which also contributed to his struggles, but he still was able to chip in 12 points.

He played with unwavering confidence, showcasing impressive shot-making ability and offensive versatility. Explosive in spurts, he kept defenders guessing with his ability to score in a variety of ways.
