Coach Stoudamire says – “Jaeden has a lot of potential. He’s a really physical guard, strong and mature. He’s a really good downhill driver and a good defender and playmaker. So I’m really looking forward to mixing him in to the things that we’re doing here, I think he fits perfectly. He gives us a really physical presence from the guard position. He can attack, he can pass, he can draw fouls and get to the free throw line. That will carry him a long way. I’m looking forward to coaching him.”
