I’m a very humble young man who is coachable and disciplined. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get to the d1 level and the NBA, I make sure I’m always at a 120% everyday even when things get tough I still push forward. I lookout for my teammates family and friends and make sure I’m always in the right mindset at all times.
