Quoting Coach DeCuire: "He's a versatile forward. He can guard multiple positions, probably all five for us. On the offensive end, he provides you a lot of versatility because he can play inside, he can play outside, he runs the floor, and what a lot of people overlook is his ability to pass the ball. So you can run a lot of offense through him, and he'll also get us a lot of rebounds."
