Biography
The 26-year-old is entering a second NBL season with the Brisbane Bullets and having proven himself a standout shooter for his size, will be looking to continue his emergence.
His father, Mike, played in the NBL as an import with the North Melbourne Giants in 1997 which is where his parents met and while he was born in Melbourne, grew up in Fresno, California and ended up attending college firstly at Wake Forest and then Santa Clara.
Started his professional carer in the 2021/22 season in the Netherlands playing for BAL where he impressed averaging 16.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists a game before coming down under to play in the NBL1 North at the Gold Coast Rollers.
Was a key part of the team that went on to win the NBL1 North championship putting up 18.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 blocks leading into his first NBL season at the Bullets.
Showed encouraging signs largely as a power forward in NBL23 and his three-point shooting at 44.4 per cent was especially impressive before he spent this off-season playing in Poland with ?l?sk Wroc?aw.
His team reached the championship series ahead of him now returning to the Bullets for a second season.
