Yes, we know that it is just the start of the season for college basketball but there are so many names out there that have come through the Phenom Hoops platform, it is great to see them playing well at the next level.
One player that was a staple in high school with Phenom Hoops from the state of Virginia, junior Jaden House has kicked off the season for the Panthers in terrific fashion. Coming off a sophomore season in which he started 26 of 31 games for High Point, averaging 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game, House has kicked off his junior campaign in impressive fashion. He has been incredibly efficient to start the season, just averaging 20.5 minutes per game but really showcasing his scoring impact on the court. Averaging 28.0 points per game, shooting 72 percent from the floor and 50 percent from three, while also averaging 8.0 made free throws per game, House is starting the season off in fashion with his ability to score from all levels of the floor. With the loss John-Michael Wright from last year, it is giving House a huge opportunity to take over the reins as one of the go-to scorers for the Panthers this season.
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“He’s a smart, strong, athletic guard prospect with great size, length, and the ability to control the action on either end of the floor. House defends with purpose and knows how to suffocate opponents with his quickness and meticulous positioning, which leads to a consistent stream of turnovers and easy transition buckets. He creates with relative ease and has the necessary craftiness to get wherever he desires on the court. House scores the ball well from all three levels but prefers to attack the basket.” – Virginia Phenom 150 evaluation
“Jaden is an athletic marvel; he is powerful and explosive. He can stop on a dime and before you can blink an eye he explodes by you. He elevates quickly off the floor and has crazy bounce and he plays at a furious pace from opening tip to final buzzer if need be. He has the ability to beat players off the dribble with his tremendous first step going left or right, and is solid getting to the rim in a straight line. Jaden attacks the basket with a lethal first step and crossover ability showing a quick, tight handle and cat-like quickness even while executing difficult crossovers and change of direction moves where he establishes a low center of gravity and with his powerful strides and shifty movements erupts into the paint or to the rim. He handles the ball exceptionally well and gets into the lane effortlessly.” – Frank Bennett in 2018
