About Jarvis
Expert Analysis
Kyle Sandy | Prep Hoops Scout
Super talented swingman takes over games in a blink. Doesn’t like physical defense but once he gets comfortable, he turns a switch with his three-level offensive arsenal. Glides to the rim for highlight slams and can bury threes off the catch. Aggressive slasher draws fouls. Rebounds well and has the length to be a consistently disruptive defender.

Exceptional scorer works the mid-range pull-up and is quick to slash through the lane for slams. Uses his length to shoot into passing lanes for steals. Streaky outside shooter can take over games when hot from deep. Look for his stats to leap across the board after averaging 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.1 steals.
