Jalen Adams (Committed to UConn)

[UconnU]

5-11 for 11 points 2 boards 1 assist not his best game but his team won. I dont think theyve lost a game this year with him in the floor.

In only 17 minutes though. 11 points in 17 minutes isn't too shabby.

Also, it's not really his AAU team right now. It's randomized teams at his camp but he still isn't losing. Nice to see.

Have you heard anything about us getting involved with seventh woods? Aside from JA nobody on the circuit is a better system fit for us and with the UNC investigation and all...

Post-commitment effort

Even though Jalen Adams (UConn) and Justin Simon (Arizona) have made their college decisions, their effort, approach and productivity have not changed. In fact in some cases it has been better than before. Some prospects tend to coast a little once they make their decision, feeling they have arrived. Adams is too competitive to let that happen. He plays with a flair as a clever guard who can beat most defenders off the bounce and get into the lane and be a playmaker or scorer. Simon is a big point guard who pushes the ball with speed between the free throw lines looking to put pressure on a defense. He defends hard on the ball in a low and wide stance and looks to distribute and make his teammates look good on offense.

10 toes in!

I started a thread a few weeks about how well he is playing. People I chat with say he is on fire this past spring and summer

 

[donyell34]

He won't be S habazz from Roxberry it will be Jalen from R oxberry.

He won't be S habazz from Roxberry it will be Jalen from R oxberry.

More like: Jalen from Roxbury.

He'll also be burying a lot of jumpers as well as opponents while wearing a UCONN uniform.

First game at adidas Nations is in the books. His team, US Howard, beat adidas Canada 84-61. He had 6 points going 3-3 from the floor, with 3 rebounds, 3 assists. Here's the link for the box score: http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=57525&a=1

Picture from today's games:

I feel like there should be another prefix "committed"

Jalen's team lost to Team Africa. He put up 8 points on 4-10 shooting (0-1 from three) with 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 turnovers.

Thanks for the updates...are their other guys on their team taking the shots? Seems like they are not getting a lot of opportunities.

“@Devin_Ugland: Cushing Academy’s Jalen Adams has taken the reins for Team Howard early here vs. Asia-Pacific. Getting to the rim at will. #adidasNations”

“@ebosshoops: Jalen Adams is starting to go Jalen Adams. Finding his groove off the dribble and getting buckets. #adidasnations”

“@WhoGotNextG: Jalen Adams has been showing solid passing and scoring ability off the pick n roll #adidasnations”

Had 13 points last night on 6-12 shooting (1-2 from three) with 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 turnovers.

Yeah, he is also playing with Justin Simon (Arizona), Chase Jeter (top 10 big man), Bennie Boatwright and Derrick Jones so there are plenty of scoring options.

Adams is currently sitting out his game with leg cramps.

 

[tcf15]

From Rivals:

Over the past couple of months, Adams has gotten much stronger. The addition of a power game to go along with his already tremendous first step, skilled ball-handling and ability to make tough shots makes him a load. He is a master of the pull-up jumper and plays with unwavering confidence.

And Team Howard missed Jalen. They got crushed 118 to 72. Yikes! They basically had no PG, unless you count Simon as their PG, though he only had 1 assist. Plus they got blasted on the boards too (65-33). Jeter played but no points or rebounds. Not sure if Jeter got hurt. Jones not much better. 2 pts, 3 rbs.

Tonight

 

[Thirty Three]

Nice, thanks!

 

[UconnU]

woot woot! Does he start for his team? seems like a silly question but this is like an AAU all-star team right?

 

[Fishy]

I'm okay with not getting Chase Jeter.

His hair bothers me.

This game reminds me of everything I love about summer basketball - that would be nothing.

 

[aceboon]

both the players and the refs look worn out, been a long summer

I know you were kidding but I've seen Chase Jeter play several times now and he's the most overrated kid I've seen, no clue why he's so highly rated. This game is a horrible representation of the game of basketball.
