Alexander is a fierce two-way force who checks every box with length, grit, IQ, athleticism, and a fearless will to dominate. He’s a game-wrecker on defense, capable of locking down all five positions, controlling the paint with his timing and instincts, and altering everything at the rim. But he’s just as dangerous on the other end. He shoots it with confidence from anywhere, plays above the rim in transition, creates opportunities for teammates, and finishes with a mix of touch and power. He’s a versatile weapon built for today’s game. He is versatile, relentless, and impossible to box in. His mindset is elite, his motor is non-stop, and his passion shows in every single possession.

His rise this season was unforgettable. Returning from injury, he powered National Orthodox School to a championship in the 7th Annual Jordanian School Tournament, walking away with MVP, Finals MVP, and Best Defensive Player honors. He averaged 15.3 points, 24 rebounds, 8 blocks, 3 steals, and 4 assists while shooting a blistering 80.3% from the field and 71.6% from beyond the arc. The road included a double-overtime war in the semifinals and a dominant blowout in the title game, a run that rewrote the school’s history books. Alexander also made waves with Al-Ahli in club competition, posting 11 points, 18 boards, 6 blocks, and 4 steals per game as a key extra piece. His mentality has evolved too, he doesn’t just try to dominate; he expects to. He’s focused on becoming a complete threat: tightening his handle, finishing through contact, reading defenses faster, and getting even stronger.

While he hasn’t confirmed an AAU team yet, Alexander is targeting EYBL or another elite national platform. He’s not chasing average but pursuing greatness. His mission is to earn national respect, prove he’s one of the top prospects in the country, and show that his NBA dream isn’t talk, it’s the plan. He’s looking forward to leading his next squad in Carmel, dominating from the jump, and continuing to evolve his all-around game.

What fuels him are big-time blocks, poster dunks, and defensive stops that turn momentum. He plays with fierce energy and thrives under pressure. Through adversity, he turns to faith, discipline, and his unshakable work ethic. He doesn’t flinch but rises. The best coaching advice he’s ever received is, “Be unguardable without the ball.” That changed how he views the game, pushing him to impact it in every way possible. His foundation is built on belief, family, and focus. Off the court, he’s a student of the game and of life, watching film, learning from legends, staying grounded in faith, and always growing.

I assess that Alexander brings college-ready tools with professional-level vision. His unique ability to dominate on both ends, stretch the floor, and lead with passion makes him a must-watch for high majors. He’s already producing at an elite level, imagine what’s next when he’s unleashed on the national stage.

This is a kid who’s not just working toward the NBA; he’s already building a resume for it. Expect him to explode in the States with more exposure, higher competition, and the right system. With his frame, motor, and mentality, the sky isn’t even the limit. It's just the starting point. Stay tuned to see just how high he flies, with the potential to be something special as a phenom international rising star.
