Boogie is a winner. Plenty of winning, city and state titles was done while he was a Crusader for Stepinac.  Can drain threes but has shown he is an elite three level scorer. A shot maker and playmaker. Elite skill set. He is the whole package. Defends well, can rebound from the guard position. Outstanding vision and court awareness. Knows who and when to get the ball took teammate. Clutch down the stretch. Arkansas was happy to get Coach Calipari but the idea he's taking the N Y state player of year with him is in Kentucky known as a daily double for Arkansas.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1195618"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Jakai transferred to Eagle Academy for his senior season and led them to a PSAL city championship and a spot in the first ever overall NYC championship where they lost a tight battle to Stepinac. Jakai is a player I have praised his talents since the first time I saw him in a spring CHSAA team camp event. Explosive strong  guard. Has good size. Can get into the paint and score through contact. Outstanding vision and ball handling ability. A three level scorer. Strong with the ball. The PSAL player of the year. Did it all averaging 17 ppg 10 assists and 6 rebounds a game. He has committed to Sienna.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1360147"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Braylan had a big time year. A player who does a lot of things really well. Hard working player on both ends. He has always been a terrific rebounder and defend the post. This past season he added the three ball plus the ability to get to the rim off of 2-3 dribbles. Real nice touch on the 15 foot jumper plus a real nice passer from the high post. Quinnipiac is getting an impact player for their squad.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1361733"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"A big presence who combines his size with a really nice skill set. Takes up space in the paint. Can defend  the paint or out on the perimeter.  Can score inside. Another player who through hard work has improved his perimeter shooting now making him an inside or outside scorer. A major piece in the resurgence of the St Raymond's program. Tremendous talent. Should be a repeater to the first team next season.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1682827"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"(Pictured) Not only a top player in the state of New York but a top player in the country by a lot of different voices. A three level elite scorer. Handles the ball really well. Explosive finisher at the rim and at the same time can be crafty and score it with finesse. A tremendous shooter from three with good lift. Outstanding defender who can come off the weak side and block shots before you even know he's there. The future Baylor Bear should be a ESPN household name next season.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663ee31dea248"} /-->
