Biography
The 28-year-old left-handed forward enters the NBL for the first time at the Perth Wildcats having set G League rebounding records and as a renowned shooter – both critical areas his team will now want his help in.
Having grown up in Indianapolis, attended Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, starting in the 2015/16 season where he got better season on season ending up with 21.3 points and 10.8 rebounds on shooting 54 per cent from the field and 43 per cent from downtown.
After graduating, was taken with No. 26 selection by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2019 NBA Draft but his rookie season never got off the ground due to a lower leg injury.
But made his NBA debut with the Cavs in December 2020 and would play 81 games over the next two seasons, and then 101 appearances in the NBA all up including stints at the New York Knicks, LA Lakers and Atlanta Hawks.
He split his 2023/24 season at the Knicks, Lakers and Hawks while he has also had G League stints with the Canton Charge, Westchester Knicks and South Bay Lakers. That included a game of 33 rebounds earlier in 2024 for Westchester against the Delaware Blue Coats.
Now with his rebounding and shooting ability, brings exactly what the Perth Wildcats are needing coming into NBL25.
