Accolades: Big East All-Tournament Team (07), Gatorade Boys Basketball Maryland Player of the Year - high school (06).

Strengths: Great size for a small forward. Very long arms. Solid defender. Big and strong. Plays physical - uses his strength well. Aggressive player. Good leaper. Explosive player. Good spot-up shooter. Capable slashing to the hoop. Good three-point shooter - over 100 made for his career. Very consistent scorer.
