Summary

He was a two-year starter at Belmont before becoming one of the most sought after players in the 2024 transfer portal. He committed to North Carolina but failed to make the impact expected, averaging just 2.6 points in 7.9 minutes. He returned to the portal last spring and found a better fit in Minnesota, where he averaged nearly 20 points per game.

  • Smart player in offensive structure who is a good cutter and solid passer.
  • Has NBA caliber size on the wing at 6-6-plus without shoes on.
Weaknesses
  • Limited athlete with shorter arms.
