3/3/26: Jamir was written about long ago and continues to deserve more “ink” thanks to his tremendous athleticism and positional awareness. Dean will turn heads for his speed and dunking, but coaches and recruiters are going to certainly notice how active his hands and feet are at the other end. Dean altered shots and poked some steals loose all while defending every position. Midway through the second quarter Jamir deflected a crossing pass and comfortably surged up the float for a disturbingly smooth two-handed dunk. His fluid movements are the kind that make most justifiably jealous. Dean works hard on his craft, but he absolutely owns some things that many hoopers will simply never match (bounce, speed, agility).

“He is good at guarding the guards,” said Alcoa Head Coach Ryan Collins after the victory via phone call. “He can contain a kid off of the bounce. Also, he is not scared to go inside and mix it up.”
