About Jesiah
Expert Analysis
Daniel Siehndel | Prep Hoops Scout
It’s hard to believe that, from a physical standpoint, Buchanan already looks capable of holding up at the next level. With his strong frame and length, Jesiah made the most of his sophomore season, emerging as one of the best wings in the state. He was a force around the rim all year, using his body well, playing off two feet, and creating space through contact. An above-the-rim finisher, he can throw it down in traffic or in the open floor with authority. Averaging nearly 12 points and four rebounds per game on 63% shooting speaks to the high-percentage looks he consistently created. He’s already shown a much-improved handle, and if he can add a reliable perimeter shot this summer, Buchanan could take the next step as both a player and a prospect.
