The San Antonio native (Warren High School) holds career averages of 16.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 57 games with Austin, Wisconsin Herd, and Motor City Cruise.
“He was great in camp. The numbers game was the only reason why he wasn’t on a two-way at the start of the season,” said Mitch Johsnon. “He’s had a great season for them (Austin) so far. You have a guy like that who’s 6-7, athletic, with the defensive mindset. That’s a pretty good mix. It’d be hard to say no, right?”
