Summary:

Jakobi Heady is an agile, skilled swingman that played at Bethune-Cookman in college basketball, and also has played for Johannesburg in the BAL. He can score the basketball, and he is an aggressive downhill driver that can attack the rim to get buckets, but he will need to be a more consistent outside shooter and also show that he can also excel in a supporting role on offense. He had a good collegiate career and played well in the BAL, and his skill set could enable him to make it to the NBA someday.
