He seems to stay in attack mode.</p> <p>- Setting the tone / controlling the offense </p> <p>- Defense - Plays solid on ball and off ball defense (skilled enough to be a defensive stopper). Defense travels, and his should carry over to the next level.</p> <p>- Coachability - He’s a natural student of the game that likes to learn. He can be put in any system and will learn it and excel.</p> <p>- Finishing at the rim - He has great touch around the bucket and can finish at a high percentage and with creativity.</p> <p>- Underrated perimeter passer</p> <p>AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT</p> <p>- Coming off ball screens - This would give him another way to attack the rim and allow for more scoring opportunities.</p> <p>- Increased range, and consistency with, his jumper. This will keep the defense honest when defending him and make attacking the rim off the bounce that much easier for him.</p> <p>ULTIMATE BASKETBALL GOAL</p> <p>"My ultimate basketball goal is to play at the college level and win and make my family proud." - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1180507" first="Jahi" last="Gibson"]</strong></p> <p>WHAT HE’S LOOKING FOR IN A PROGRAM / SCHOOL AT THE NEXT LEVEL</p> <p>"Things I’m looking at in a program at the next level is just them giving me an opportunity.
