Bio: Standout for two seasons at San Jose State before transferring to Gonzaga. All-Mountain West first team and All-Defensive team selection as a sophomore. Averaged 17.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks (15th nationally). Made 59.2 percent from the field, 25th nationally. Elevated scoring (19.3) and rebounding (9.2) in Mountain West games.

Tallied season-high 21 points in victory over Boise State. Highly touted prospect out of Desert Vista High in Phoenix. Posted 10 triple-doubles as a senior to lead Desert Vista to 2015 state championship game. Averaged 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks as a junior.
Jr Scouting report: Bouncy, athletic forward should make an immediate impact on Gonzaga’s frontcourt, either as a starter or key contributor off the bench. Quality rebounder, defender and capable scorer. Has agility to defend shorter players on the perimeter and the athleticism to provide rim protection in the paint. Had 8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks in Kraziness in the Kennel scrimmage and won dunk contest for second straight year. Added eight pounds of muscle during redshirt season and worked to extend shooting range. Attempted just nine 3-pointers in two seasons at San Jose State.
Jr. Scouting report: Sat out last season under NCAA transfer rules. Won dunk contest at Kraziness in the Kennel.
