Biography
He took the NBL by storm back in his first season with the Cairns Taipans on a team knocking on the door of reaching the Championship Series and now returns to repeat those heroics at the Sydney Kings.
The now 28-year-old California native is no stranger to the NBL and is equally capable of playing inside and out in either the four or five position, and previously had two standout seasons with the Snakes.
The first of those was part of the finals bound team in NBL20 where he produced 17.4 points and 9.7 rebounds on his way to being named to the All-Second Team forming a dynamic trio with fellow imports Scott Machado and DJ Newbill.
Returned to Cairns for NBL21 and had another 17.3 points and 10.1 rebounds before receiving an NBA opportunity with the Houston Rockets where he would play four games late in the 2020/21 season.
That came after he grew up in California ahead of spending two years at the University of Nevada before playing in the G League at the Delaware Blue Coats and Wisconsin Herd ahead of joining Cairns for NBL20.
Since his time at the Taipans, played those four NBA games with Houston and two more for the Atlanta Hawks while also having played in Spain for Unicaja, Puerto Rico for Leones de Ponce, the Philippines for TNT Tropang Giga, and most recently in China both for Zhejiang Lions and the Hong Kong Bulls.
