2026 Outlook

Former Suns small forward and wing. Now finds himself at Carlton to provide the link, run, and kicking skill forward-of-centre they desperately crave. Keep watch during the preseason to see how defined his role may be, as he can be someone we definitely stream/play in the right circumstances.
