is an athletic wing player that utilizes his explosive abilities on both ends of the court, contributing in various ways. Defensively, he effectively covers ground against opposing ball handlers and actively gets in the passing lanes to generate steals. During the Space City Collision, Jamal’s high energy was evident. Offensively, he is a capable shooter from range off the catch but truly shines when running his lanes in transition to convert layup and dunk opportunities. In the half court, Jamal can be an effective cutter and a threat off the ball.
What’s Next for Jamal?
Jamal is currently in his junior year at Fort Bend Elkins High School as he aims to carry his summer momentum into the upcoming fall season. Given his current skillset, I believe a successful fall season could significantly enhance his stock. I eagerly anticipate witnessing Jamal’s growth and development within his game before he graduates in 2027!
