Michael is a poised, electric floor general built to control the tempo, ignite an offense, and wear down defenders with relentless pressure. What sets him apart from others is his combination of elite basketball IQ and calm execution and doesn’t just play the game, he reads it like a book. He’s sees two plays ahead, knows when to strike, and when to settle the pace. His shot is pure, his handle is tight, and he manages the game with the cool confidence of a seasoned vet. A fierce 94-foot defender with the ability to create his own shot and set up teammates in rhythm, Michael brings the full package to the court, and any program looking for a leader who thrives under pressure will find an immediate difference-maker in him.

This past season, Michael averaged 13 points, 7 assists, and 3 rebounds per game while commanding the offense with high IQ decisions and clutch shot-making. One of his biggest improvements was his ability to control the flow of the game, dictating how his team plays and controlling momentum with maturity and purpose. Now, with eyes set on the next chapter, his focus is on improving his ability to consistently generate clean looks for himself and keep defenses guessing. Off the court, he’s a composed competitor, never rattled, never too high or low, just locked into the moment and leaning on his teammates to push through adversity.

Currently competing in the Puma Circuit, Michael is gearing up for a run at the Puma Finals with one goal in mind: win. His eyes are also set on helping whichever program he joins reach a championship. He’s not chasing hype; he’s chasing results. The best coaching advice he's ever received is, “Your time will come, don’t chase it.” Michael brings patience, passion, and purpose into every gym he steps into.

I assess that Michael's ability to manage the game, score efficiently, and pressure opponents defensively makes him a plug-and-play asset for any college team. He understands the flow, makes smart reads, and has the skill to lead an offense with confidence. He’s the kind of guard who elevates those around him and brings balance to any lineup.

Expect Michael to bring veteran leadership, scoring touch, and high-level control to his next program. With his steady approach, quick decision-making, and competitive fire, he has the potential to be a game-changer in the right system, especially one that values toughness, pace control, and unselfish playmaking. He’s ready to make an immediate impact. Stay tuned.
