He uses his strength to be physical with his opponent getting in their grill and not letting them move when he is on the defensive end. Offensively he is a solid shooter pulling up from mid-range and hitting jumpers from three off the catch. Does a great job on the boards especially crashing the offensive glass despite his height. Worth a look at the D2 level.
How was his high school season?
“It went well. We lost in the sectional to Springfield Southeast. We played them three times and lost all three times, but it is a learning experience. I think I played my role next to Xavier Bishop. I was his Robin to his Batman.”
He spoke about where he is trying to develop this summer with Yanders Law.
“I need to be more of a point guard. The last few years I was playing the one through four. My dad and coaches tell me I need to be playing the one more.”
