History |

|
Junior (2006-07)
Was enjoying a productive initial season before a knee injury in the Washington University (Jan. 16) forced him out of action for the remainder of the campaign ... While he was active, his outside shooting provided Emory instant offense off the bench ... Saw action as a reserve in all 12 of his appearances and was one of three players to average in double figures with a 10.0 points per game average ... Averaged 16 minutes per outing and posted double-digit scoring on four occasions ... Turned in a memorable showing in his first game as an Eagle, sinking five-of-season from the floor, including four-of-five from three-point range, en route to 18 points against LaGrange College (Nov. 25) ... The next evening against Maryville, he drained six-of-eight attempts from the field, including three more from long range, in finishing with 17 points ... His effort in those two contests enabled him to earn UAA Co-Player of the Week honors as well as a spot on d3hoop.com Team of the Week ... Finished with a glittering 93.3 percent mark from the foul line, knocking down 28-of-30 attempts ... Finished with a team-high 15 points at Washington & Lee (Dec. 30) ... Scored in all 12 of his appearances and registered treys in 10 games ... Shot 50 percent or better from distance in six games.
Prior to Emory
Joins the Eagles' program after spending the two previous years at the Oxford College of Emory University ...
