He"s willing to go to the goal at any time. He"s willing to push the tempo any time, and if you let him take his right hand down the alley, he can shoot on the run as well as most guys.. he sneaks up on you, and he"s the fastest guy we saw all year.

Albany head coach Scott Marr called him "an outstanding athlete".
