Ethan is a dynamic scoring guard with a fearless game and a nonstop motor. He’s built for impact, dangerous off the catch, crafty off the dribble, and confident in his ability to get downhill and create plays in tight windows. A natural scorer who thrives on rhythm, he makes defenses scramble when he starts to heat up. He moves with purpose, attacks gaps, and reads defenders well enough to find teammates in stride or finish through pressure. His passing, decision-making, and scoring instincts give him the keys to any backcourt.

and he plays with the poise and fire to match. Ethan’s got that scorer’s confidence, and when he knocks down a three, it’s more than a bucket; it fuels him.

In his first year on varsity, he averaged 2.4 points and 1 rebound per game for a team that placed 6th in the state. Even while dealing with a broken hand at the state tournament, he was still locked in and soaking it all in, mentally preparing for the moments ahead. As a freshman he earned second all-time leading 3-point maker. This offseason, he’s locked in on playing with more pace and improving his perimeter shooting to become a greater all-around threat. His dribbling, passing, and defense have been his biggest improvements, and he’s working hard to keep pushing his IQ and confidence to another level. That hard work paid off in the AAU session as he averaged 10 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds. His biggest motivation comes from his desire to get better, soak up advice, and be known as a well-rounded player who competes at both ends.

Ethan played for Upper Left Legion and competed in the Las Vegas tournament, playing major minutes and proving himself against top-tier competition. His goal moving forward is to earn offers and continue making noise on every floor he steps on. When facing adversity, he’s calm, trusts his work, and lets the hours he’s poured into the gym speak for themselves.

Off the court, Ethan stays grounded in what matters, believing in himself, enjoying life with his friends, and staying active outside.

I assess that Ethan's ability to shoot off the catch or create off the bounce makes him a weapon in any offensive scheme. His passing instincts, improving defensive focus, and coachable attitude will allow him to step in and contribute early at the next level. A college program looking for a tough-minded guard with a motor, a skillset, and a hunger to grow will get a gem in Ethan.

Expect Ethan to keep evolving in production, leadership, and consistency in the coming season. His continued growth in confidence and perimeter shooting, combined with his court vision and relentless work ethic, make his long-term potential exciting, and he’s just getting started.
