In 165 games (11 starts; 12.2 MPG) with the Hornets from 2021-2024, he averaged 3.2 points and 2.1 rebounds.

The former Auburn star turned heads in the 2021 draft after averaging 9.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals in his freshman season while getting to the three-point line as a 6’10” forward. At 21, he still has untapped potential.
