Toronto selected him with the No. 13 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and it seems to be paying off. He’s already building off his stellar freshman season with the Jayhawks, which saw him average 14.1 points and 5.1 rebounds.

Overall, his production under Bill Self, which earned him selections on the All-Big 12 Second Team, Big 12 All-Newcomer Team, and Big 12 All-Freshman Team, helped the Jayhawks win 28 games in ’22-’23 and earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
