About Jaeron
Expert Analysis
Henry Etier | Prep Hoops Scout
6’5 Jaeron Banton was tough tough for the Oklahoma Icons Elite program. His size is dominating like a tackle in football that runs the floor like a defensive lineman. I watch him take over the game with his team clearing out for isolation over and over. He finishes everything around the rim and every time I looked up I heard “And 1.” Defensively his frame is a issue for most guards and post players looking to get comfortable in the lane, he changes the whole dynamic with his impact and even blocks a few shots a game as well. Make sure to have him on your radar he should be making some major noise in Oklahoma soon.

Banton is pure potential, rough around the edges but displays flashes of skill. He is a tank in the paint who takes up space on defense and incredibly tough to force out of position. A force inside when being attacked by slashing wings able to deter shots. A tall, wide build that can take some contact while posting up and dribbling down to the low block. He does have a decent touch on dump down lay ups, good at securing the pass and pretty quick reaction. I would love to see him sharpen his conditioning up and to increase his jumping ability and shooting from mid-range.
