Bio:
As a point guard with a strong focus on playmaking, I excel at setting up my teammates and creating scoring opportunities for others. My court vision and ability to read the game allow me to make precise passes and facilitate our offense effectively. I’m always looking to find the best play and ensure that every possession counts.
While my primary role is to facilitate, I’m also a versatile scorer who can take over games when needed. Whether it's driving to the basket, hitting open shots from beyond the arc, or pulling up for mid-range jumpers, I have the scoring skills to contribute significantly on the offensive end. My ability to adapt and score in various situations adds an extra dimension to my game.
On defense, I bring a tenacious attitude and a commitment to locking down opponents. I take pride in my ability to disrupt the opposing team’s offense and make crucial stops. My work ethic and dedication are reflected in my all-around game, and I’m always looking for ways to improve and contribute to my team’s success.
Strengths:
- Visionary playmaking and court awareness
- Versatile scoring ability, including driving, shooting, and mid-range
- Aggressive and strategic defensive skills
- Strong leadership and teamwork
I’m eager to bring my skills, energy, and competitive spirit to the collegiate level and help a team achieve its goals.
