Expert Analysis
Charles Yates | Prep Hoops Scout
I’ve only gotten a chance to watch Josiah once this school year, but he showed high IQ and playmaking ability at the combo guard slot. His skills involve good court awareness and always knowing where his teammates are on offense. His defensive aggressiveness is also key to causing the opponent to rack up turnovers and help his team convert on fastbreaks. He was a huge component of Houston Christian coming away with a 35-1 record this season. Jojo will continue this grassroots season with RL9 Academy as an experienced guard on the team

He demonstrates great passing skills, downhill driving, and high IQ playmaking on both ends of the floor as the primary ball handler offensively. His skills and effectiveness in passing to open teammates were instrumental in the team’s success this season. Playing with

this summer, Josiah should see his stock increase as he participates in the New Balance circuit. It’s surprising that another promising prospect like Josiah doesn’t have much reported college interest.

Within the offense he found himself open with the ball in his hands in the pick and roll making timely decisions to help his team convert offensively. He makes good passes to open teammates setting them up for success as the team’s starting guard.
