Coming out of high school in 2019, he was projected to be a first-round draft pick and was rated as a 5-star, top 25 player in the country.
“A big wing (6-9) who combines good size and length with very nice athleticism. Versatility is also a strength. It is possible he spends some time as a shooting guard, and also could slide all the way down and be a stretch power forward. Has the ability to naturally get buckets in the mid-range. Needs to continue to get stronger and work on his perimeter jumper. Should develop into a first-round NBA selection.” –247Sports.com
He was not offered by the Huskies coming out of La Lumiere School in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. In his 3rd year at Kentucky last season, he averaged 10.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. In 17 games he averaged over 10 points, including a season-high of 27 points and 8 rebounds against eventual National Champions, Kansas. He was a member of the number 2 seeded Wildcats’ first-round departure to number 15 St. Peter’s Peacocks.
