Position:
I am a
shooting guard (2), but can also play point guard (1). I can score from
the two and feel comfortable handling the ball as the one. A major
strength of mine is the fast break. I can get up and down the floor
quickly and with ease. I can also play with my back to the basket down
low.
I am a good
defender and often times given the responsibility of guarding the
opponent's strongest outside shooter or penetrator. I also have the
ability to grab rebounds, which many people don't believe due to my
height. I have great jumping ability and bang with the best of them.
I am an
unselfish team player. I am a firm believer in the phrase "There is no
'I' in team," because no team can win without playing together. A team
can have many talented individuals but will not be successful unless the
individuals play as a team.
Off the
Court:
In my spare
time, I volunteer at the local German-American Institute (Carl Schurz
House) teaching kids how to play basketball. I also enjoy watching
movies and reading my Bible. I graduated from Brown University in 2006
with a double major in History and Psychology. I was an Academic All Ivy
honorary and was also named an ESPN/CoSIDA Academic All-American.
