Jakai Newton

As a College Recruit

Jakai Newton is an explosive, downhill guard with a lengthy and strong frame. In high school he plays on the ball, but probably projects forward as a secondary ball handler. Would like to see the Pace and reads develop, along with the jump shot. His length and athleticism give him upside on the defensive end. He can guard the ball or play in the passing lanes. When Newton plays aggressively he is at his best.
