I always thought Amaurys Fermin’s game was best suited for a professional game.

During his single season playing point guard for Cal Poly, his will to compete individually and showcase a series of skills sometimes had to take a back-seat to the team’s defensive-minded goals and grinding style. His spectacular ball-handling and swagger was sure to translate to the professional ranks.

Amaurys has continued working on his game, playing with NBA players in pickup games in Los Angeles, and getting ready to go to Cypress to play with Etha. 

I caught up with him weeks before he travels overseas to continue his career on the Mediterranean Island.
