Jordan is a master technician at point guard, a high-IQ floor general with elite vision, game-altering leadership, and the type of swagger that makes the game slow down around him. He sees everything two steps ahead, delivering dimes from any angle and dissecting defenses with poise and purpose. His passing wizardry and ability to facilitate an offense make him the engine that drives his team. But he’s far more than a facilitator. Jordan can knock down impossible shots off the dribble, create in tight windows, and respond to pressure with control and confidence. He plays with heart, passion, and a chip on his shoulder, especially when the other team starts talking. He’s also an underrated defender, always in the gaps, rotating early, and holding his teammates accountable. He sets the tone with his communication and trust. Jordan doesn’t just want to win but demands it.

Despite missing half the season due to transfer rules, Jordan’s impact was immediate once eligible. His leadership and shooting were his biggest improvements, and but his defensive growth was also undeniable. His ability to improve his instincts and IQ through endless film study separates him from the average player. With a full offseason that felt like a professional grind, he’s added explosiveness and athleticism thanks to dedicated work with his strength coach. This past weekend, he exploded onto the scene at PRO16, lighting it up with tough step-back threes and dazzling playmaking. He put the league on notice in a dominant first-round win over Tre Mann Elite, and his confidence and freedom were on full display. His AAU goals with Team Utah 17U are to win as many games as possible, compete in every situation, and capture the NXT championship in Orlando. Jordan lives for moments like Section 7 and the Pro Powder League, where his game shines brightest under pressure. This past weekend Jordan averaged 19 points and 9 assists per game.

Looking ahead to next season, Jordan is focused on growing even tighter bonds with his teammates and coaches, building a group that’s not just talented, but connected. He thrives on his passion and energy, and when facing adversity, he’s the one bringing the team together. The best coaching advice he’s ever received is, “How can you impact the game without scoring?”. The answer for Jordan is leadership, defense, passing, and a relentless will to win. Off the court, he spends his time training and diving into film. Jordan isn’t just preparing for the next level but already approaching the game like he’s there.

I assess that Jordan brings high-level court awareness, composure, and unteachable vision to any program. His ability to lead, create, and execute under pressure gives coaches a reliable floor general who can take control of the game without needing to dominate the ball. His voice, effort, and winning mentality make him the type of player you build a team around.

Expect Jordan to continue rising fast. With increased explosiveness and a growing offensive bag, he’s going to be a major factor this high school season. He plays with a chip, leads with passion, and thrives in big moments. His combination of basketball IQ, work ethic, and playmaking makes his future incredibly bright. And he’s not done but just getting warmed up. Stay tuned for a breakout season ahead.
