Is someone who never lacks any confidence, but has plenty to back it up with and joined the reigning champions last season and had a big say in their success.

From South Sudan, but moved with family to Australia at the age of four and grew up in Newcastle, before playing alongside Ben Simmons at Montverde Academy in Florida, and then attended Texas Christian University for two seasons.

Decided to start his professional career after those two college years and joined the Cairns Taipans of the NBL in 2019/20. Had a strong rookie season with 9.5 points and 5.7 rebounds a game as a versatile forward who could have an impact inside and out.

Injury limited him to 34 games over the next two seasons, but he continued to show encouraging signs of what he could produce when on the floor and then lit up the NBL1 North in the 2022 season, with a point to prove that he was back to full health.

Won the league's MVP award and took USC Rip City all the way to the Grand Final before joining the Sydney Kings for NBL23 and becoming a crucial member of the team that went on to win the championship.

With the confidence to shoot from the outside but also being big and physical enough to have an impact inside, he offers great versatility and now enters NBL24 on the back of another standout NBL1 North season at Rip City, again making the All-First Team.
