Pros:

Adequate scorer off the dribble
Adequate playmaker
Adequate rebounder for his size
Adequate defender that can get steals and blocks
Gifted athlete
May have significant upside

Cons:

Really needs to improve his shooting
Below average free throw shooter

Questionable decision-making skills
Can be undisciplined defensively
Not a true point guard, but is undersized to play the two
Needs to add strength

Summary:

Jalen Lecque is a speedy combo guard that can drive the ball to the basket to get scores for his team.  He will need to improve his jump shot significant and be more of a distributor, and he will have to show that he can guard the upper echelon players on the court.​

Curiously though, ESPN has him rated as a prospect for the 2019 draft, and they have him as a potential first round candidate.  Lecque will be looking to follow the footsteps of Anfernee Simons.  Lecque did not have a great first game in the combine, but he did show flashes of his potential, and he could be an intriguing long-term option for NBA teams to consider in the second round of this year’s draft.
