Bio
Get to Know Flory ...
What's the significance behind your jersey number?
- It's kind of funny, but this was the only big jersey we had in my high school. I ended up liking it because "Flory" rhymes with "40".
- I started to get interested in basketball when I was 14 years old. I was walking down the street and there was a person who suggested that I start playing basketball. My family has been my biggest influence, especially my mother. She's the one who really pushed me to do it.
- I listen to some music to get me locked in and ready.
Tell us about your favorite basketball moment as a player or fan.
- My favorite moment was when my high school team and I made it through state when nobody believed in us.
Who do you model your game off of?
- I personally model my game to Giannis Antetokounmpo. I really like his game and his attitude on and off the court.
