2020 rankings were finalized on 11/17/20.

Pros:
Fairly good shooter, especially from deep
Decent scorer off the dribble
Excels at scoring on the move
Handles the ball well
Decent rebounder for his size
Decent defender that can get steals and blocks
Solid athlete
Cons:
Streaky shooter

Not a true point guard, but is undersized to play the two

Summary:
Jahmi’us Ramsey is an athletic, skilled combo guard that can shoot and score the basketball. He has put up big numbers early in the non-conference part of the college basketball season, but he has not often faced top teams, and he struggled to make shots in his team’s loss to Iowa. He’ll need to show that he can play well against elite competition and he’ll have to improve his playmaking skills, but he is a talented player that could go in the late first to the second round range of the 2020 draft, as he may project to be a microwave type of scorer in the NBA.
