Playing career
Despite getting offers from colleges like the University of Massachusetts, University of Cincinnati, and St. Francis University, Stores chose to attend Manhattan College under coach Steve Masiello.[3] Stores redshirt as a freshman and thus did not play any for his first year at Manhattan. In his first year of collegiate play at Manhattan, he was MAAC Rookie of the Week three times[4] and ultimately was named to the MAAC All-Rookie team.[5] In his sophomore year, Stores averaged slightly fewer points per game but started eleven more games than the previous year. The next year, Stores averaged his highest points per game up to this point and improved as the season progressed, helping Manhattan win the MAAC Championship game and reaching the 2015 NCAA Division I Tournament.[6] In his senior and final year, Stores recorded his best stats from all his collegiate career and was nominated as a Lefty Driesell Defensive All-American.[7][8]
