He talks more about his game and his goals for the upcoming season, along with his thoughts on his latest offer from California.
Game Description:
“I believe I am a good two-way guard with good instincts and ball skills. I work well around the basket and in the midrange and can make plays for my teammates by using my slashing ability to get into the paint. I think right now I can definitely improve on my shooting around the arc as well as making my decisions a split second quicker in preparation for this game at the next level.”
Areas of Improvement:
“Three-point shooting specifically getting the ball off of my hands faster. Also quicker decision-making and leadership.”
Excitement about the upcoming HS Season:
“I am excited to go for another Open State Title, which is my main goal for the season as well.”
Thoughts on the latest offer (California):
“This latest offer really just makes me want to work harder. I want to play at the highest level possible. I’ve been following California ever since I started following college basketball. They have been talking to me since my freshman year.”
