2008-09:

“A player that can produce “instant” offense when needed; small forward type that can operate along the baseline; will penetrate & take the shot off the dribble; loves to get out in transition because of his athleticism; can block shots & plays aggressive inside; plays hard & aggressive on both sides of the ball. Not flashy but comes to play with his hard hat on; coaches love this type of player !!!!!!!”
