His performances at the biennial tournament helped Rwanda finish at the top of Group C with a 3-0 record. The guard ranked number one in scoring in the Group Phase, averaging of 21.3 points per game. One of his notable performances was against host nation South Africa, where he scored 25 and crashed 14 boards.

The youngster describes his playing style as relaxed and “involving a lot of change of pace.” He is strong with the ball, can attack the rim, and is a good shooter of threes.
