Scouting Journals for Jalen Montonati

Jalen Montonati’s thing is his shooting, specifically his movement shooting. Running around the perimeter hunting space to get a clean look. And when his shot is falling, he can be an effective foot spacer, someone who the defense has to stay attached to no matter where he is on the floor. The thing with Montonati is consistency. His production over the summer has been very fluid. He has good positional size and plays with a lot of confidence. Montonati has international experience with USA basketball and has won Oklahoma’s Gatorade Player of the Year award. Montonati needs to continue developing his self creation, creating advantages off the bounce. He also needs to better find leverage on the defensive end. The vision with Montonati is as a shooter, someone who pulls defensive gravity.
