Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
The 5-foot-11 lead guard plays with relentless energy, controls the fast pace G-Hawks offense, is an underrated perimeter defender that has the instincts and timing to make high impact plays, and adapts to what the team needs him to do, whether it be score the ball or find the open teammate. Jimenez was dropping dimes in the win over Santa Paula last Friday, January 2nd at Centennial’s gym, dishing out 10 assists to go along with 6 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals. Jimenez has solid handles, keeps the ball on a string and his head up at all times to see the court, makes timely decisions and throws some darts up the court or to teammates open when attacking off the dribble drive. Jimenez has a good burst off the perimeter, uses the crossover and hesitation to get his defender off balance, is effective with the pull-up middy, and is crafty scoring at the basket with the Euro-step and reverse lay-ups in his arsenal. Tough on-ball defender with good length and timing to defect passes, jump passing lanes, and alter shots on closeouts. Good positional rebounder that looks to get the ball up the court quickly to wings that leak out as soon as they see the ball secured. Jimenez had 8 points in a blowout win over Hanford the following day, January 3rd.
