The 198-centimeter-long, 30-year-old player was one of the best basketball players at Michigan State Spartans, under the hands of world-renowned Tom Izzo. In his final year as a captain of his team, he played basketball players like Draymond Green (Golden State), Adreian Payne (Panathinaikos), Brandon Wood (Albacomp). After gaining a diploma, he moved away from basketball for three years and worked for a company, then coach Izzo returned to his former team and returned to the coaching staff, including Thomas Kelley, ex-Szolnok. This year he entered the professional camp and became a member of the Newcastle Hunters (Australian Waratah League), All Star, MVP and the finest player of the finals.
