the senior guard from West Bladen. The Chowan University commit is one of the most prolific scorers left and has a massive 45 point outburst under his belt. He’s a threat as soon as he crosses half court and one of the guys that’ll need a big performance for West Bladen to play for an upset.

Was very aggressive to score the ball from start to finish and would wrap up the night with 19 Points. He spent the majority of his time at the PG spot and his aggression allowed him to get into the paint for drawn fouls and interior points.

West Bladen went on a big-time run last year and despite them losing a high amount of talent, we fully expect him to be able to help his team to be a force in the conference once again. He has the ability to knock down shots, has a good IQ for the game and understands how to run the PG spot.

Read EvaluationAndrew Baxley | Prep Hoops Scout
Pait was one of two North Carolina 2026s that stood out to me from Charleston Raptors 17U. Jackson is very much the vocal leader of this group, as he communicates well with his teammates on and off the court. He also displayed a nice feel for passing and scoring, going for 8 points and 4 assists in a Game One win. Pait scored on a mid-range pull-up, a left-wing three, and a transition layup, and he made some key passes later in the game as defenses adjusted to his scoring.
