He ranked eighth in the field in rebounds per game at 5.5.

As part of Group C, the Puerto Rico men will face South Sudan on July 28, Serbia on July 31 and the United States on Aug. 3 in the first round of the Olympic tournament. The 5-on-5 Olympic basketball group phase will take place in Lille, France, before the tournament moves to Paris for knockout and medal rounds.
