He has tremendous vision as a passer and is great at finding his teammates. JD has the ability to score the basketball as well from three levels.

"He's worked tremendously hard, and his family has been super supportive and encouraging to him over these last several years as he's pursued his dream of playing Division 1 basketball. JD is a winner. A gifted scorer, yet an extremely composed and consistent floor leader.
