Career Highlights

James is a long, athletic wing who has the versatility to play the SG, SF or PF.  He has the prototypical size and athleticism of a big time NBA wing.  James is known for his freakish athleticism and NBA style dunks.  His dunks are so fierce that he was awarded the top dunk in his rookie season (2014/15).  He possesses many mismatches as he has the size to take any SG to the rack and has the quickness and shooting ability to score on any SF or PF.   He is also very quick and as a 6’7 wing possesses good handles and an outside touch to score on any opponent.  He also has close to a 7’0 wingspan.  He can score from anywhere on the court, taking his opponent to the rack or scoring from NBA 3-point range.

Testimonial

“Scott and Rize Management really prepared me for the NBA draft process and provided me with all the tools and resources that any other agency would have in order to excel in my draft workouts.  While every agency was recruiting me, Scott really showed me he cared, and I wanted to go with an agent that gave me a lot of personal attention.  He has been in my corner for my entire career!”
