High Academic Spotlight: Jalen Green (2018)
2018 Jalen Green is slowly turning heads in the North West.
The 6’7 wing is currently averaging 17 points and 8 rebounds on the season. He continues to display his smooth jump shot, with his high release. Playing at his own pace, he’s able to create separation and get shots off at a high level.
Jalen has a good feel for the game, always making the right plays and putting himself in the best positions to succeed on the court. He can shoot from about anywhere on the floor. Defenders cant leave him with any type of separation or he will let it fly with his quick release
Last season Green was currently ranked 9th on the Prep Hoops Washington 2018 rankings, but is slowly climbing the charts. He’s receiving interest from Boise State, Washington State, Seattle University, and Montana.
Lindbergh is an early favorite for 2A and Green is ready to lead them to a 2A state tournament appearance. He has a good supporting cast this season and will be playing alongside senior point guard Kelton Williams and 2018 Hazen transfer Xavier Dumas. Look out for Green and the Eagles as they make a run for the 2A state championship this season.
