After averaging 32.2 points per game in 16 games last season, is up to 33.5 this season. His dominance in those 16 games was enough to make the HighSchoolOT all-state third-team. At least two recruiting services rank him as a top-30 sophomore in the country, something he doesn't take for granted after how his freshman season ended. (High School OT)
