Sanders continues to gain momentum in multiple skill sets. The last time I saw him live was last Spring. His coordination, timeliness, and IQ has continued to come along. Thrives in PnR scenarios and rolls correctly to openings after hedge man gets dragged out. Works cohesively well with his talented guard playing 2 man game. Had a reverse layup and multiple scores at the rim in these situations. Runs the floor faster with length and versatility. Finished on a two handed slam on one breakaway and kept pace with his point guard plenty of other times to gain advantage. His wing span is effective in passing lanes and in defensive trapping schemes. Going to be a consistent factor for JC next two years.

Jahari Sanders Jahari Sanders 6'6" | PF Joliet Catholic | 2028 State IL has a lot of room to grow and still impressed me against M14. His ability to make plays from the midrange is an extremely underrated aspect of his game. That showed with a fadeaway jumper around the free throw line in the second half of this matchup. Forces tough shots defensively with his length.

Sanders is a 6’4” power forward with a ton of projectability.  Rebounds well in his area with athleticism high pointing boards along with using his bounce on his second jump to get put backs.  Like what he brings defensively as a versatile defender that can block shots.  Fluid athlete that can really run the floor.  Upside!

6’4″ kid out of Joliet Catholic. Frustrates you with his defensive and rebounding. Had a nice moment where he got three offensive rebounds on the same possession. Will either be a wing or a post long term depending on how much he grows. Has three-level scoring potential, too. His touch is something he can improve on. But the potential is definitely there.

Caught him play in the early Sunday morning matchup. Helped team finish 3-1 on the weekend. Can play the 4 or 5 position. Long wing span that reads the ball well off the rim. Catches the ball at the highest point off boards. Creates some issues for O when in the lane due to length and quickness for a big. Plays cohesively with teammates.
