“He is by far the best player in the state—as fast of a kid as I've seen with the ball in my 24 years as a head coach. He can take over games, but also keeps everyone involved. The thing I appreciate the most is he never gets too high or too low—he just plays the game. No trash-talking, no pouting about refs’ missed calls. He just keeps playing.”
Shawn Alderman
Head Coach head coach at Tigard High
