How would you describe your playing style to someone who’s never seen you play?

I would describe my playing style as powerful and strong. I think I lead by example more than anything.

What's one thing a coach has said to you that's stuck with you through your career?

Jim Stone, my coach for the junior national team, told me “you can do anything you decide to do”, and thats really stuck with me. I have accomplished all of my goals so far and those came a lot from working hard and deciding to get through anything that was in my way.

What's your pre-game ritual?

I usually listen to chill music, have a coffee, and play brain games on my phone, while looking over scouting reports.

What's your favorite thing to do off the court that helps your game on the court?

I just love to spend time with my people, really in any setting. They allow me to recharge and be my best on the court.

I have never been to a Lakers Game!

What’s your current hype song?

I really like Walking on the Edge by Sons of Legion

Can’t leave the house without extra hair ties

What's one piece of advice you have for young players?

My piece of advice for younger players is to find something outside your sport that excites you or brings you joy that allows you to be your best on the court. Life and sport is all about balance if you want to be successful at both!
