Season Averages 2.2 51.4%   63.3%       0.4 (Asst/TO)
Nickname: Truck Strengths: Dropped 20 pounds in the offseason, thanks to UNLV ace strength and conditioning coach Jason Kabo. Aimed to get to 257 for the season. With two years under Kabo’s tutelage, he’ll be prepared to battle for the starting spot as a junior. Maybe sooner, depending on his learning curve, which coaches rave about. For his size, he’s surprisingly quick and agile. Has a nifty touch around the rim has been strong on the boards. Sets a mean pick, thus his nickname. Weaknesses: Took some nicks and bangs during the second week of practice. Ice became his best friend. A sore Achilles’ tendon hampered his jumping ability considerably. A knee injury hampered him during his final prep season. Decision-making should improve as his first D-I season progresses. At Findlay College Prep in Henderson Averaged 6.4 points and 5.2 rebounds for the 32-1 Pilots, who lost the National Prep Championship – by two points to Hargrave Military Academy – in the Bronx, N.Y. A knee injury hounded him most of the season. Personal Played on the Swedish national team in 2006 Euro Cup qualifying games, averaging 18 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Two older brothers and a younger sister play in the Swedish professional league. Enjoys cooking teriyaki and Chinese chicken, with vegetables. Quoting “I’m a funny person. Fans can always come up to me and ask me questions if they want to know something. I always enjoy meeting new people.” -Brice Massamba
