Biography
Had a brilliant first season in the NBL at the New Zealand Breakers taking the league by storm with his all-round talents as a dynamic guard and will be looking to build on that further in NBL25.
The longer his first NBL season went the better he became and he emerged as a genuine MVP contender and was named to the All-First Team on the back of what he did to lead the Breakers into a top six finish.
His numbers were outstanding at 20.6 points, 5.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 steals, but it was ability to run his team, take the big shots and thrive in the big moments that made him even more of a standout that was all the more impressive given it was his first time playing in the NBL.
Having grown up in California, spent four years in college at the University of Arizona where he delivered 7.8 points and 4.5 assists in his senior season in 2017/18 while shooting 41.7 per cent from three-point range.
Spent time in the G League playing with the Westchester Knicks before stints overseas in England with the Cheshire Phoenix, in France with Saint-Quentin, Germany with Telekom Baskets Bonn, back in France with ASVEL and then in 2023 in Turkey with Beşiktaş Emlakjet.
Along the way he was named MVP of the French LNB Pro B in 2021 and then the Bundesliga MVP in 2022 along with making the All-Bundesliga First Team.
The now 29-year-old arrived at the Breakers for NBL24 with those strong credentials and more than lived up to them, and will look to build on it further in NBL25.
