Snapshot
What coaches should know
Proven Shooter
Led the SIAA Regional team in scoring (16.9 PPG) and threes made (44), shooting 41.9% from three on 105 attempts. The National Team's sharpshooter, and champion of last year's inaugural school 3-point contest over the top national, Prep and FHSAA high school athletes.
Earned the climb
Regional, then Prep, then National in under two seasons, and the only player on the National Team who wasn't recruited to it. Skipped AAU and worked all summer on strength, conditioning and skills to get faster, stronger and quicker.
Tested every day
Practices daily with and against top-ranked teammates Beckham Black and CJ Rosser, and plays behind Black, the No. 1 player in the Class of 2027 in ESPN's SC Next 100. Julian is one of many talented players on a team built to chase a national championship.
Coachable and locked in
Coachable, even-keeled and always locked in. He plays with the same calm, steady composure in every moment, and takes coaching and puts it straight into his game.
