Vincent is a fearless floor general and crafty three-level scorer. Vincent has strong ball-handling ability and blowby speed. Vincent is a ruthless catch-and-shoot three-point sniper but thrives at attacking the lane and scoring effectively over much bigger players. Vincent loves getting out in transition and playing fast, where he can utilize his speed the most, but he can slow down the game when needed. Vincent has good court vision and can deliver some nice dimes. Despite his size, Vincent is a rock-solid defender. Vincent has a high motor understanding he must put hustle and outwork everyone because of his size.
This past season, Vincent averaged 12.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.1 steals per game. Vincent's biggest improvements from last season until now are his ball-handling, finishes near the rim, and jump shot. Vincent's biggest basketball accomplishment was winning the MAYB Nationals in Wichita, KS, this year, winning the 1st playoff game for his school, and playing in the Substate Championship.
Vincent's goals for this upcoming season are to win at least 12 games? 2 playoff games and make the Meadowlark 1st Team All-Conference. Vincent feels their biggest challenge is themselves, believing that if they push themselves, they can achieve their goals. Vincent says the biggest improvement for the team from last season is depth. They have a lot of underclassmen Vincent feels are ready to step up and impact the team's performance right away, helping make a serious push to reach their goals and a post-season run.
Vincent is looking forward to playing is Wyandotte. Vincent loves the rich tradition and history of the gym. Vincent has always enjoyed looking up and seeing championship banners and records that add to the mystic. Vincent really looks forward to playing them as their biggest rivals. Vincent feels if his team excels at half-court defense and locks in on transition defense, they have a good chance of making a deep playoff run. Vincent refuses that will take focus in practice every day, the ability to stop a run and gun offense and them being able to score at. will. Vincent says, we got all the right pieces; we just gotta put in the work all season long and earn it.
The thing that fires Vincent up the most on the court is energy. When he sees his team playing with a lot of energy, it really games him up to match that energy. It's how Vincent expresses himself doing what he loves most: playing basketball.
Vincent handles adversity by doing different things depending on the situation. Most of the time, Vincent goes to someone he trusts, like his parents, ts, and talks to them and listens to their advice or knowledge of the situation at hand. If it's a technical or skills-related issue, Vincent gets to work on raising his performance to a level that is satisfactory to him.
The best advice Vincent has ever heard is if you put in the work, it will show, and the results will follow. No matter what it is in life if you put in the work, the results will show the dedication. Vincent currently holds an offer from the University of St. Mary in Leavenworth, KS, and he believes more interests and offers will come if he gets seen by the right coaches.
Vincent's tenacity, energy, and work are outstanding traits. Vincent's skills with a fearless mentality are hard to ignore. Vincent has learned, too. He gets the shots he wants despite his size. The term dynamite cones in small packages certainly applies in this case.
Vincent's hobbies outside of basketball are playing video games in his free time, running cross country, which improves his conditioning, and listening to music.
In achieving his next-level goals, Vincent believes he can play wherever he is needed. Overall, Vincent just wants to continue playing the game he loves. Vincent believes it will take more consistent development, such as conditioning, strength training, and pure skill development.
