#2 · 23 yo · FWD

2025 Outlook

Young key forward who has shown significant prowess as a KF in his short career thus far. Increased his fantasy scoring year on year since debut and would expect further growth. Stints on ball as back up ruck definitely help and with position scarcity may be able to provide some relevance in 2025.
