Personal Statement

My college goals and aspirations are to first discover what kind of person I really want to be besides a great basketball player upon finishing college. I want to obtain a well-rounded general education and obtain the skills I need to pursue my chosen career. I want to develop a personal code of values and ethics, achieve a high GPA, and enjoy my college years before assuming adult responsibilities. 

What makes me different from other recruits is that I am a rare athlete, and a defensive specialist.  Both of my parents are former athletes. My  Dad is a former NBA player,and they both have played a major part in my athletic ability by keeping me active since the age of 4. I'm able to adapt to anything. I am able to use my length to my advantage by turning defense into offense.  I am able to hit shots over defenders and out-rebound taller players. I can guard the 1-3 portions on the floor, dunk/finish at rim, pass and dribble, challenge shots at the rim, and I am able to disrupt passing lanes and add steals to my stat line.
