Expert Analysis
Spencer Christenson | Prep Hoops Scout
Haley made a case for being a top 20 prospect, and the second-ranked point guard in the 2026 class behind Gerdes. He showed he can change his offensive approach from game-to-game depending on matchups and game-flow. He could always dish out the ball to teammates, but he can score the rock if he’s set on that.

Haley runs the show from the point guard position for South Dakota Elite. We’ve talked about his offensive capabilities and playstyle in the past, but I think he brings a defensive intensity, and takes that side of the ball seriously as well. Floor general and pace-setter for the team. Shows a good amount of composure.

Jaden is an under the radar point guard that can play. Hasn’t had the varsity tick, but he was able to showcase himself with Hoop City South Dakota Elite Basketball 16U. He’s a well-rounded point guard, with an underrated on-ball defensive game. His offensive game is what puts others on notice though. A great handle on the ball, where he can protect the ball and create space, and also attack off the drive through traffic. Does well in the pick-and-roll game, where he creates options for his team. A great rim finisher and a magician off the glass with both hands. Sioux Falls Lincoln has a very deep point guard position, so it’s unclear to me his upcoming role. But he can play and is a playmaker out there.

WHY?rnHe is a playmaker who is really crafty & creative on offense. Jaden plays at his own pace and he is unselfish with the rock. He has took the next step on the defensive end. I like his quickness and skill.
How does he shoot from the perimeter, is he knocking down 3’s all weekend?

Jaden’s consistent scoring in the paint all weekend was a big reason why the SD Elite made it to the Sweet 16! He is a smart player with sharp skills and natural instincts.
