Jaeden Mustaf is On3’s No. 43 ranked player in the 2024 class. The 6-foot-5 guard was the MVP of the Adidas 3SSB Circuit 17u championships. Playing up in age for the New World program, Mustaf lead his team in scoring (12.7) while shooting 48.5 percent from the field and averaging 4.6 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game.

Indiana and Florida State loved what they saw and showed up on the first weekend coaches could be out for the Fall live recruiting period.

Mustaf, who transferred to Matthews (NC) Carmel Christian this summer, claims 20 offers. His father, Jerrod Mustaf, played at Maryland and was the No. 17 pick in the 1990 NBA Draft.

Mustaf scouting report

Jaeden Mustaf is a big-bodied wing who plays with a straight-line burst. He is a jack-of-all-trades type of wing who can handle, shoot, and pass, playing multiple positions on the floor. Mustaf is a good team defender and rebounds well for his wing position. The jump shot needs work as it is streaky and a push shot right now, but he makes some. As a long-armed 6-foot-5 wing, there are many things teams can do with Mustaf. He is a triple-double threat each time he steps on the floor. His father, Jerrod Mustaf, was a first-round NBA draft pick in 1990.
