Summary:
Jalen Adams is a quick guard that can score the basketball in a variety of ways, and he also is an adequate playmaker that can get plenty of assists.
However, sometimes he can have shot selection issues, which may hurt his shooting percentages, and he can play too wildly on offense elsewhere. But with a strong senior season, he could potentially end up being a second round pick for the upcoming draft.
