There's just something about this game… the fans, the refs, the atmosphere, the opponents, and the rush of excitement from stepping on the court are why I love this game. Every game is different, and no two outcomes are going to be the same. Each game brings new challenges that make my adrenaline kick in. I am very aggressive when it comes to driving, shooting, and rebounding. I can attack the rim from anywhere on the court. Growing up and always being the tallest on the court has brought me a passion for wanting to get every rebound possible, whether it be on offense or defense. Because of my height and length, I am very aggressive when it comes to defending any position from a point guard to a post. I am always wanting to learn new skills, drills, and how to improve on the things that I already know how to do. I take pride in my work ethic and being a very coachable player. I want to be part of a program that will challenge me every step of the way and help me develop my skills, so I can be the best player I can be.
