The Brampton, Ontario native led the Gamecocks in scoring for a second-straight season, averaging 16.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, earning All-Conference honors in his third season of college basketball. 

The 6-foot-6 shooting guard posesses elite athleticism, can create from the perimeter and get out in transition. Miami is a solid fit for the 21-year-old.
