Another guard who is highly ranked because of his high ceiling is Nowlin. Jayden is the definition of intriguing because of his very long arms and defensive instincts, while lacking a complete offensive game. He is a pest in passing lanes, helps rebound, and can guard multiple positions, so if he develops as a playmaker or adds a jumper, he could end up inside the Top 10.

Jayden is the second Stars SE 2029 standout of the weekend. He is still far from the finished product offensively, but his defensive floor should be something that has college coaches monitoring his growth over the next few years. Nowlin is listed at 6’0″, but he has a plus wingspan and might not be done growing yet. He is effective on the ball and in gaps on the defensive end because of that length, and he had 8 steals between the two games I watched in Rock Hill. Jayden also stays active off the ball offensively with smart cuts and offensive rebounding. Keep an eye on this young player out of the Pee Dee.
