Jasen West, point guard Trinity Prep 2018:
I was at the Showdown in O-Town yesterday and got my first look at West in a high school game and he did not disappoint. At 5-foot-11, 150 pounds sees the floor well and made the right pass. West played under control even while pushing tempo and under defensive pressure. He is a playmaker who creates for his teammates as well as himself. Although he has a thin frame, West will not hesitate to attack the rim and challenge bigger defenders. He also has range beyond the arc on his jump shot. West used good anticipation on defense getting into passing lanes and disrupted several passes due to his long arms. Two of his four steals came on bounce passes. For the day West had 18 points, four steals, three rebounds and two assists in a win over Boone.
He is yet to receive his first offer, but told me that UCF is monitoring him and he is receiving interest from Davidson.
It will be interesting to see how much his frame fills out over time.
