Jake Arthur
About Jake
Expert Analysis
Ryan Morgan | Prep Hoops Scout
Strengths: Mid-Range Shooting, Patience
Breakdown: Every time I have watched Arthur, it’s readily apparent he loves working to the middle of the floor and pulling up for the jumper. It’s where he finds his rhythm and when he’s in rhythm, he’s an excellent shooter. He’s shown some ability to stretch that range out 3-point land but needs a little more consistency there. He’s a patient player that is willing to work for the best shot and has a fair amount of moves and skill dribbling the ball to knife inside a defense and draw the attention of multiple defenders.
Outlook: While Arthur can be deadly from the mid-range, he definitely has the potential to round out his scoring attack and be more efficient from outside the arc and at the rim. Adding some more strength would do wonders for him scoring through contact inside, but also incorporating a reliable floater would help him attack some of those in between spaces inside. He’s pretty on par as a defender but doesn’t usually make the big mistake and shows some ability to make a play notching steals here and there.

Jake plays the game with confidence, so much so it looks like he plays laid back. In doing so, he lets the game come to him. He moves well off the ball, being able to find open spots for catch and shoot three pointers. He finishes at the rim athletically, being able to adjust mid-air well. He finds his teammates well too, knowing when his teammates down low are open. His game is growing every time I see a new highlight of his. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was able to sneak his way into the top 100 as well.
