During the 2025–26 campaign with Turkish outfit Anadolu Efes, he averaged 7.7 points, 4.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.2 steals over 37 appearances, starting all but one match. Prior to his stint in Turkiye, he spent five successful seasons with FC Bayern Munich, where he captured two national championships and earned the EuroLeague Best Defender award in 2025. He initially launched his overseas career with MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg following a collegiate run that split time between Arkansas and Iowa State.
Now a veteran of 198 games in Europe’s premier competition, the naturalized playmaker also boasts a distinguished international resume. He serves as a core piece for the senior national team of Germany, notably helping the squad rank fourth at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and capture bronze in the EuroBasket 2022.
His ability to handle the ball, crash the boards, and lock down multiple positions provides the team coached by Tony Parker with an injection of two-way intensity as they look to compete at the highest continental level.
