From the jump Jaylen came out and showcased his versatile offensive game. He made a tough post hook and then followed it up by hitting a jab step three. In one of the most impressive moments of Saturday, 6’2 Hatch dunked off an outlet pass with little room to get momentum. In game two, Jaylen was able to score in the paint against multiple 6’8 “post defenders. He would then continue mixing it up with a pretty side step three.

Hatch is a lefty with intriguing intangibles, impacting the game through effort and activity. He made hustle plays all over the floor, from extra‑effort rebounds to loose‑ball recoveries that swung momentum. His motor and willingness to compete every possession give him a foundation that will only grow as his skill set develops.
