Very athletic 3 player who has the ability to guard positions 2 thru 4. Great rebounder has a knack for the ball. Has the ability to beat bigger forwards off the dribble, and can post up smaller guards, has a nice mid-range game. Plays very physical, and loves to attack the rim. Can play with back to the basket, or can face-up to the basket, and hit the mid-range jumper.
A tough, high energy 6’6” forward who impacts winning through rebounding, efficient interior scoring, defensive versatility, and relentless effort. Has a high motor, gets downhill. A winner, great teammate both on and off the court.
