I am currently enrolled at Jackson State University. I am a Sophomore. I started playn bball at a very young age. i believe it was like 5 or 6. High School i averaged about 14 points 9 assists 4 steals and about 7 rebounds. I love to play defense. I work hard on D to make the O easy. Love running the break. On the break is wen i am at my best. If a man is open i can find him and give him a pass that will put him in a scoring position. I am a good rebounding guard. I play the point but can play shooting guard as well. I am very versatile. I am a disciplined guard that knows the fundamentals and uses them very well. I am in the Army so that helped with my discipline and conditioning. Naturally I tend to come off as a passing point guard but I can score as well. I am a very mature player. I am good at playing a role player if needed. I had a great workhabit. I feel like if its something you love there is no such thing as a day off. My high school bball coach can vouch for me as well as "EVERYONE" that has came in contact with me in my lifetime. Basketball is my love and i play with alot of passion. I go hard every play and push myself to the limit every practice and every workout. I run every morning and work on my game in the evening. I love the game so much that i was the guy that actually had his ball in the car on da way to prom. Lol! I watch da game everyday. Whether it is on tv or i have to watch videos. I can use both left and right hands very well. I am willn to learn as much as i can about the game. I mean i could sit on here and talk about my love for the game and my game as well all day. I am jus waiting for a chance to show what i can do on the court. I pray that that time comes soon.
