Player Profile

One of the hardest-workers in the NBL. Equally capable of scoring inside or moving outside to shoot from long range. A tough as nails big man that everyone wants on their side. Has the strength to bang bodies with centres in the paint and the agility to shut-out wing-men. The un-sung hero of the Blaze roster.
 
 
Came of age under Joey Wright last season and claimed the NBL’s Most Improved award after becoming the heart of the Blaze on offense and defense. Twice MVP of the South East Australia Basketball League in 2006 and 2007. Applies raw physicality to basketball after a stint with the Canberra Raiders rugby league club before joining the West Sydney Razorbacks in 2007.
