I'm a scholar 6'3 shooting guard from Avon Old Farms Private High School. I am a 3 level scorer whose main ability is getting by defenders and scoring at the rim. I have a strong basketball IQ, great court vision, I create plays for teammates, I remain calm under pressure, and I always show respect both on and off the court. i have a college ready body and mindset to compete at any division. I’m also an explosive two-way shooting guard that cannot only shoot but have a great IQ on how to get open shots. I can guard positions 1 through 4 on the floor, and lock up the other teams best player.
I pride myself on being a coachable athlete who is a great team player and always working to improve myself to be a better player. I strive to be one of the first ones to get to practice and the last to leave. I understand the time, hard work, and effort it takes to succeed as a competitive basketball player at the college level.
I am one of the most hardworking players on the team and youngest, but yet I still compete and strive to be the future of the Varsity team. Last but not least I am very coachable with a team-first mentality, and want to have a great and long-term relationship with my teammates and coaching staff.
