The player comes from Fenerbahçe Beko Istanbul, a team with which he participated in the Final Four of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and with which he has just been proclaimed champion of the Turkish League. With a more significant weight in the rotation of the yellow and navy blue team in the national competition (9.6 points and 5.1 rebounds for 11.6 PIR), he has played a total of 56 games in the season that has just ended among all competitions with numbers of 5.9 points with 42.2% in 3-points shooting and 2.8 rebounds for a 6,2 PIR.

Throughout his entire journey in European basketball, he has established himself as a reliable shooter from behind the three-point line, with a 42% efficiency percentage in three-pointers in his professional career.
