2019 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I'm unselfish and down to earth type player who prides himself on the defensive side of basketball but also i'm viewed as a capable scorer. Off the court- I'm a guy who focuses on his studies, speaks two languages, and working on a third. I'm self driven, pride myself on being a leader, that has a calm cool and collected personationality. Additionally, I'm very versatile honing my debate skills in my classes.
I focus primarily on science and history as my subjects for my future at college program. My basketball inspirations are Russell Westbrook and Kawhi Leonard because of their determination and overall competitive nature.
