He takes the floor 18 times scoring 2.2 points in an average of 8.8 minutes. In the same season he plays 6 games in the G-League with the Memphis Hustle with 17.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per contest.
His career continued over the next two seasons with the Hustles themselves after signing a contract as an affiliate player.
In 2021-2022 he put up 8.4 points with 43.6 percent from three, while in his final season he took the court 39 times scoring 9.8 points on average.”
