“His size, agility and skill level make him a complete player and prospect. I’ve been most impressed with his passing and discipline to make the right play. He could easily score 35 to 40 points a night if he wanted, but he’s a team player and he cleans up the boards, registering double-doubles without blinking an eye. He’s solid defensively too, as he leads their team in steals.”
Patrick Kaiser
Head Coach - Tower Hill School
