Biography
Arrives in the NBL another enormously talented teenager as part of the Next Stars program and will look to showcase plenty with the Illawarra Hawks ahead of what looks to be a promising NBA career.
The Californian born 6'6 combo guard and wing has great versatility to be able to play either guard spot or as a small forward entering his first season as a professional, and with explosive speed and good length and great hops, his athletic gifts need to be seen to be believed.
After finishing at Southern California Academy, he had initially committed to attend the University of Texas, but ended up having a change of heart and rather than join the Longhorns for what was likely one season, opted for the Next Stars program in the NBL.
And he joins the Illawarra Hawks who provided the platform for current Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball and now the 18-year-old follows his footsteps looking to enhance his prospects of being a first round selection in the 2024 NBA Draft.
