About Jahlil
Expert Analysis
Van Johnson | Prep Hoops Scout
A young flourishing wing guard who is developing into a steady prospect with a quality blend of size, shooting, and involvement on both ends of the floor. Waheed knows how to effectively move without the ball and apply pressure as a spot-up threat. He can knock down jumpers from midrange or beyond the arc but also displays solid vision and a willingness to make the extra pass. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off hand, as it would make him a more reliable creator against defensive pressure. Clearly has the qualities of a shooter. Looking forward to seeing Jahlil play with more strength and not try to force drives. Waheed highlighted some nice flashes throughout the summer playing with Team Takeover 15U EYBL and should be a key piece for first year Coach Keith Urgo at Gonzaga for the next three years. He is a scoring guard with a mature developing frame. He uses his length, quick trigger and pace to find space at multiple levels—and is a legit shot maker from both 3 and in the midrange. His on-ball creation makes him a comfortable secondary ball handler and his ability to create and find space consistently tilts the floor.
