‍What are you most excited about for NBL 2022?

“I am most excited to get some experience throughout this season, develop in different areas of my game and also representing this Logan community which has given me so much throughout my junior years. Also just ready to put the extra hard yards in to get to our main goal which is to win the championship.”

‍What are you feeling towards getting your first minutes in the Thunder senior program?

“Honestly, very very humbled. I am very excited to, just representing the Logan community and my family, can’t get any better than that. Ever since starting basketball back in under 14s and watching QBL all the way up to now, it has been one of my goals coming through the junior program and getting that opportunity now is very special to me.”

‍What does Logan basketball mean to you after coming through the Thunder pathway?

‍Who are you looking forward to learning from the most in the Thunder mens team?

“I am looking forward to learning from everyone in the team but mostly looking forward to learning a bit more from Jeremy Kendle. Just his professionalism and the way he keeps his standards up on and off court is something that not every player can have. Also putting in extra, he’s always doing something in his off days and to me it’s got me to do a lot more in the off season. Also other teammates like Mitch, Cedar they are 2 other players that I have looked up to ever since coming through the Logan program and now getting to team up with them and learn a lot more from them, it’s a blessing and very grateful.”
