“Ian is a versatile front court player who impressed our coaching staff with his toughness and competitive spirit. He is an outstanding passer and rebounder who can play well both in the post and on the perimeter. Ian was a talented multi-sport athlete when he was younger, but his focus on basketball has grown his game tremendously, showing an exceptional AAU season this past spring.”
