The dude is everywhere and affects the game so much without scoring.

He had a rough first half but has played pretty well in the 2nd. I like his hustle

If he learns to control the effort he will be an outstanding player for us! Not a shot at him, he just gets out of control at times.

you got the non scoring part correct. No offensive skills at all, but he does hustle hard and looks for the open man.

Still needs to put on some weight but plays the right way. Love his game.

He’s a four year player. By the time he leaves I think he has a chance to be an outstanding player.

He gives great effort but throws up at least 2 playground shots a game and doesn't come close to going in the basket. Lots of potential. I hope he continues to improve.

When he is dribbling in the scrum he is lightning fast and smooth af with both hands no favoring a hand or leaning protective with his off hand. Silky smooth when he is in the mix, he is only going to get better if he keeps up his training and stays hungry. Really excited about watching him grow in next year or two

He is a GREAT defender. I like him. Outside of scoring, he does everything tremendously.

He has a chance to be one of those players who makes waves in the NCAA Tourney as a lesser-known guy becoming a standout performer.

His defense is outstanding with his lightning speed, fast hands and long arms. He gives great effort and helped a lot tonight. His offense needs a lot of work, but he had some great passes tonight at times.

When he hit those two free throws, my daughter goes "Wasn't he the one in the video before the game with Coach Wade telling him to shoot 100 free throws at practice?" :D

He had himself a great game and definitely impacted the flow of the game in a positive way over and over for the Tigers. Great job out of him.
