Jake West is a highly intelligent lead guard whose court awareness and decision-making set him apart. He plays with a great pace and a strong feel for the game, allowing him to dictate the tempo effectively. His shooting ability is impressive, as he can knock down shots from all over the floor, making him a consistent scoring threat both from beyond the arc and in mid-range situations. West’s proficiency in running an offense enables him to facilitate plays, distribute the ball efficiently, and create scoring opportunities for his teammates.
As he joins the Northwestern men’s basketball team, West will provide depth at the guard position and bring a winning mentality. His combination of shooting, playmaking, and defensive prowess should fit in with what Northwestern is trying to build. Look for a big senior year at William Penn Charter!
