The 6’5 combo guard has played 101 games in his career with Butler, Temple and Arkansas. During his college career, he has shown off his versatility as a scoring threat while amassing 1,343 points. Alongside Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman, Gonzaga’s backcourt should be one of the deepest in the nation.

Roc Nation Sports, a sub-division of Roc Nation, launched in spring 2013. Founder Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter’s love of sports led to the formation of this group. The group focuses on elevating athletes’ careers on a global scale through marketing and endorsement deals, community outreach, charitable tie-ins, media relations, and brand strategy.

Their roster includes premiere athletes such as LaMelo Ball, Robinson Cano, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Kevin De Bruyne, Rashod Bateman, Dez Bryant, Danny Green, Rudy Gay, Todd Gurley, Jaire Alexander and Ronnie Stanley to name just a few.
