Personal Statement

We eat, sleep and dream basketball in the Pap household. Basketball is my love and passion. From the time I could dribble, I was playing basketball and loving every minute of it! We paved over our backyard and installed a court so I could play from morning until night. I train every day to maintain sharp ball handling/shooting skills, strong physical defense, and high basketball IQ. I enjoy being part of a team that works together, supports each other, and pushes each other to grow and achieve our greatest potential. I am very coachable and pride myself on being one of the hardest working players (always the first to arrive and the last to leave).  I am a true student of the game, and am interested in the strategy and mental toughness it takes to play, develop and compete at the highest level. Basketball is a way of life for my family and I. My father, uncles, and grandparents all played in college. Someday I hope to continue that Pap legacy and contribute my skills to a college team.
