Biography
He is only just 18 years of age but is among the most exciting prospects in world basketball and coming into a second season at the Brisbane Bullets as an NBL Next Star, will be doing all he can to get ready for the NBA.
He might have only played 7.6 minutes a game in his first season at the Bullets, but in those stretches he offered such a glimpse into his future at both ends of the floor that he set the basketball world alight.
The 7'3 Queenslander showed an ability to block shots from nowhere and to be a mighty rim protector, showed a great ability to catch the lob passes and throw it down, and to also grab offensive rebounds for some emphatic put backs.
Not only that, but he is agile enough to be able to move from side to side to guard smaller opponents, he can step out and shoot, and at 18 years of age, his development is only going to continue in a second season in the NBL at the Bullets.
Starred in underage Queensland representative teams while being part of the NBA Global Academy in Canberra and attending the Centre of Excellence and playing in the NBL1 East during 2023, ahead of joining the Bullets for two seasons ahead of what is an expected NBA future.
