Biography
The 24-year-old import wing will be on a mission to add some scoring punch, athleticism and versatility to the Cairns Taipans as he arrives down under to play in the NBL for the first time.
Arrives at the Taipans after spending his last three years in college, including a solid 2022/23 season with the Manhattan Jaspers as he now looks to make an encouraging start overseas to his professional career.
Having grown up in Troy, Alabama, started his college career with St John's University in Queens, New York, and then transferred to Manhattan College for his past two years.
He had 8.9 points and 6.5 rebounds in his 2021/22 season before going up to 12.2 points and 10.1 boards this past season, but it was his remarkable efficiency that stood out shooting above 69 per cent from the field in both seasons.
With his ability to do his best work around the rim, to attack the basket and crash the offensive boards, it won't take him long to become a fan favourite with his energy and hustle with the Orange Army.
