Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Adequate playmaker
Adequate rebounder for his size
Decent defender that can get steals
Above average athlete

Cons:

Lacks an elite first step off the dribble
Can be careless on offense, which can lead to turnovers

Summary:

Jaylen Forbes is an agile, skilled guard that can shoot and pass the basketball. He is having a good season right now on an underrated Tulane team. He’ll need to show that he can guard upper-echelon players on a consistent basis, but he could project into a 3 and D role in the NBA.
