Profile

KJ is been one of the most exciting players to watch in the American East Conference (All-AEC 2nd Team in 2019 and 2020, AEC All-Tournament 1st Team). An explosive combo guard able to leave a big mark on both ends. Offensively he is a real threat, strong legs and a very good physical skill-set make him able to beat his defender one to one and reach the rim without any problem absorbing contacts against bigger opponents. Consistent shooter, off the dribble and in catch and shoot situations. Two years in a row in the AEC All-Defensive Team, KJ obviously raced for the Defensive Player of the Year, great on the ball, he can also press his man 1to1 full court. He is a crazy stealer. In only 62 games (last two seasons) he become the UMBC All-Time leader in Steals (a total of 126) finishing 1st in 2019 and 5th in 2020 in his conference. A very good ball-handling and court vision make him an excellent passer, 3rd last season and 6th in 2019 in the AEC in the "assist per game" leaderboard.
