What people are saying
The NBL is a very competitive league and a new challenge for me
I’m excited for the opportunity to experience the league, compete against some great players and be part of the Bullets program.
I believe in what (head coach) Will Weaver and the Bullets are building, and I’m looking forward to being part of the program and competing with this group.
