He’s quick but strong which is a difficult combination for most players to defend, and he scored time and time again by getting to the basket or pulling up for the deep ball when the defense played off of him.
One of the top overall performers in the 17U division, he helped lead his team to the semifinals and was productive on both ends of the floor. He finished top five in scoring in the division at 23 PPG but did a nice job of balancing his scoring with getting his teammates involved and making plays on the defensive side.
Highlights
He’s known for his ability to put the ball in the bucket at a high level and that’s exactly what we saw from him. Constantly on the attack to get to the basket but also knocking down shots from deep, he is a difficult player to defend when he gets going. The next step for him will be to lock in on the defensive side consistently and trust his midrange game more but overall, he’s clearly a MM/HM talent
A player that plays the game with: passion, poise, IQ and even some flair, he’s a guard that makes an impact for his team in multiple ways. He knocked down shots from all over the court, regardless of how he was defended, and was highly efficent whenever he had the ball in his hands. He finished at the #1 spot in the 17U division in scoring and second overall in all divisions at 24 PPG.

The athletic guard with a silky-smooth handle and jump shot put his full skills on display over the weekend, finishing second in the division in scoring at 24 PPG. He breaks down defenders with ease and gets good lift on his jump shot which makes him a very difficult player to contain.
