Biography
Jason is a man of few words but big ideas. One of those incredibly smart people who had always been tall for his age and wanted to pursue science, but was constantly recruited for basketball because of his size.
His basketball journey started in middle school when he was required to pick a team sport. He calculated the greatest odds of success and landed on basketball. He continued to play through high school, keeping up with the sport and relying on analytics and his size to augment his skills, enjoying the process of analyzing the game he was playing perhaps even more than the actual game itself.
After being accepted at Harvaardwak University for his academics, he tried out as a walk-on role for the still-developing basketball program in hopes that he could obtain a scholarship to help ease the Financials of attending such a prestigious university. Harvaardwak University was thrilled to have him.
Always present but ever silent, he still developed a raport with teammates that most couldn't explain. On the rare occasions he did speak, it was always something profound or witty. He was the type to help friends move boxes or tutor teammates and was even rumored to develop ghost-hunting devices for some overeager classmates exploring a haunted house. His dynamic with teammates definitely synergized with his skills on the court, and his presence seemed to help everyone improve their focus.
His playstyle is a mix of leading by example and anticipating the opponents' opportunities to beat them to the punch. His analytical side allows him to call for changes in play when the point guard might be distracted.
