Kam is a dynamic two-way threat who plays with explosive energy and fearless confidence. He’s a problem from all over the floor, armed with sick handles, a lethal three-level scoring game, and blow-by quickness that puts defenders on skates. He’s a sniper from deep who loves to bring the rain with purpose. Kam attacks off the bounce with force and flair, finishing through contact and creating space with crafty moves. He rebounds with intensity, brings fire on defense, and flips turnovers into transition points in the blink of an eye. Coaches get a fierce competitor who makes plays on both ends and thrives in big moments. Kam doesn’t just show up, he changes the game.

This past season, Kam averaged 15.5 points, 6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block per game, going off in five 25+ point games along the way. His biggest improvement was the mid-range, where he added a reliable jumper with his deep range and downhill finishing. He was a huge piece in Northwestern’s regional championship and Heart O’ North Conference title run, earning First Team All-Conference honors as just a sophomore. Kam's focus now is on tightening his handles, becoming more athletic, and continuing to improve his shot consistency. His goals for next year are to be the Heart O’ North Conference Player of the Year and earn All-State Honorable Mention.

Kam plays on the AAU circuit with the Wisconsin Playmakers 16U North team and recently showcased his game at the North Showcase, where he had games of 13, 21, and 16 points, helping his team take that championship. He’s locked in and ready to close the season strong at the Super 16 Showcase in Ames, Iowa. Every time he steps on the court, Kam brings fire and intensity. Big-time matchups, clutch shots, and physical plays at the rim fuel his game. He’s a leader who’s excited to guide his high school team and chase both team success and personal growth.

Kam handles adversity by trusting what he knows he can do. If shots aren’t falling, he doubles down on defense, sets screens, cuts hard, and finds ways to impact the game. His mindset is steady, and his competitiveness never wavers. The best advice he’s ever received is, “Live at the rim and play strong defense, the 3s will drop.” That’s how he plays: tough, gritty, and all in.

Off the court, Kam loves playing football and spending time with friends and family. Whether it’s game night, practice, or just working out, he’s all about competing and getting better. Basketball isn’t just a sport for Kam, it’s his passion, his drive, and his way to push limits and rise above.

I assess that Kam’s explosive scoring ability, defensive impact, and fearless mentality make him a complete and dangerous guard. His three-level scoring keeps defenses guessing, while his energy and physicality give him the tools to affect the game every trip down. He’s a player who can thrive at the next level by doing all the little things while still being a big-time scorer.

Heading into his junior season, Kam is poised to become one of Wisconsin’s most electric guards in his class. With a high motor, nonstop work ethic, and evolving game, he’s only going to get better. Expect him to lead, light it up, and earn serious attention as one of the toughest two-way threats around. Stay tuned.
