It turned out quite the turn of fate the way he arrived at the Illawarra Hawks at NBL25 but now comes into the team ready to make a significant impact in his first stop down under.

The 24-year-old versatile forward was in Australia as part of the Shanghai Sharks who were on a pre-season tour and he put in a starring performance against the Hawks in Wollongong with five three-pointers in the first half.

That quickly grabbed the attention of the Hawks who then snapped him up to be their final piece coming into the 2024/25 NBL season.

Having grown up in Gainesville, Florida, spent four years at Louisiana State University as he got better year on year finishing with 13.7 points and 7.8 rebounds as a senior in the 2021/22 season.

Began his professional career from there and has spent the past two seasons playing in the G League for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers firstly for 21.2 points and 8.9 rebounds and then last season 16.0 points and 6.9 boards.

Now after flirting with joining the Shanghai Sharks to play in China, his first stop overseas will be in the NBL at the Illawarra Hawks.
