Scouting Report

Jalan Wingfield Scouting Report from Rivals’ Jamie Shaw: 

“Jalan Wingfield has an appeal to his game. A lot of that appeal for the 6-foot-7 forward comes from his floor awareness and oftentimes being in the right place. He has great length and a projectable frame. He is also a multi-level producer. Finishing with touch around the basket, pushing the break with control, and knocking down shots with touch. His body is still developing, but his current production, skill base, and frame lead to long-term intrigue.”
