The technical direction of the Bilbao team highlights that the American inside player has “extensive experience in European competitions” having played in four editions of the Champions League and two more of the Euro Cup with teams such as Hapoel Holon Israeli (10.6 points and 6.9 rebounds) in the 2022-2023 season or the Greek PAOK (13.5 and 7.5) in 2021-2022.

On defense he adapts to what the coach is looking for due to his speed and ability to intimidate.
