Junior is an imposing force in the paint, a dominant presence who controls the game on both ends of the floor. His footwork is strong, his technique polished, and his ability to score with his back to the basket is a nightmare for defenders. But his impact extends far beyond the block. With a feathery shooting touch from deep, he stretches defenses, forcing bigs to step out where they don’t belong. On the glass, he attacks with relentless energy, turning every missed shot into an opportunity. And on defense, Junior is a ruthless shot eraser, owning the paint with a no-entry policy, sending shots back with force and authority. Junior’s game is a blend of power and finesse, a rare mix of size, skill, and sheer will.
Junior put up a strong stat line this season, averaging 13 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game. The biggest improvement in his game was his confidence. That hesitation from last season is gone, and now he plays with an attacking mindset. Junior’s focus this offseason is elevating his post work, improving consistency in his outside shooting, and tightening his handle to become a true inside-out threat. Playing for Marqueze Bone and Work Hard Stay Humble, he’s set on making a major impact in AAU, pushing himself to score 20 to 25 points per game and proving he’s a dominant force heading into his next high school season. The Gatlinburg tournament is a key moment on his calendarJunior is looking forward to. A stage filled with high-level talent and college coaches watching.
What fuels Junior’s fire out there is trash talk. He thrives in the back-and-forth, locking in even harder when the intensity rises. Defense motivates him when he shuts down an opponent and sees their frustration, it only pushes him to go even harder. When adversity strikes, Junior doesn’t speed up or lose control but stays composed, slowing the game down in his mind and making the right plays to finish strong. The best coaching advice Junior has ever received is l: “You work hard for a reason. Don’t worry about what the ticket buyers say; go out and play.” Playing his game, dominating his space, and proving that he’s built for the next level.
I assess that Junior’s skill set and approach to the game will help him have a huge impact at the next level. His combination of size, strength, and a polished offensive abilities make him the versatility force for any team in multiple ways, as a stretch big, Junior forces defenses to respect his outside shot, creating mismatches and spacing opportunities for guards to attack. Junior's rebounding and shot-blocking instincts provide immediate defensive force, while his ability to remain calm under pressure ensures he’s reliable in crucial moments. With his work ethic and mindset, Junior has the tools to become a dominant force at the next level, one that can anchor a defense, stretch the floor, and make a winning impact in multiple facets of the game.
