Biography
The 17-year-old is a two-year project player as a Next Star with the New Zealand Breakers but arrives as a player with enormous potential ahead of playing a first NBL season.
Given the track record of the Breakers in recent years of getting players ready for the NBA with the likes of RJ Hampton, Ousmane Dieng, Rayan Rupert, Hugo Besson and Mantas Rubstavicius who went on to be drafted, it appears a wise choice.
Despite still being only 17 years of age for the start of NBL25, he already has an impressive resume including having represented Mexico and impressing by playing in Spain already.
While he is from Mexico, has now spent significant time in Spain including playing with Joventut Badalona the past two seasons and earning valuable experience playing senior basketball.
Along with what he has done in Spain, has also represented Mexico during their 2024 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament earlier this year earning valuable national team experience against teams fighting for a spot at Paris 2024.
Also made the All-Tournament Team in 2024 at the Adidas Next Generation Tournament in Paris and with his enormous potential, he arrives at the Breakers looking to get ready for the NBA Draft in 2026.
