Maten, a sophomore out of Pontiac, Michigan, is no stranger to contributing his share to see his team succeed. This past weekend the forward led his team with 19-points against Alabama; a lead that would eventually help Georgia wrap its regular season with a 70-63 victory against the Crimson Tide.

Earlier this week, Maten was honored for the work he does to serve his community by earning membership on the SEC Men’s Basketball Community Service Team.

He earned this recognition after volunteering countless hours to see his Athens and Pontiac community’s grow. In Athens, he visited and volunteered his time to Camp Twin Lakes, a summer facility for children whose lives have been affected by Cancer.
