Jaden Stewart @TheBeastJay21 , 6'5 , 197, c/o 25 from Pike County Central High School is a powerful athlete that uses his size and strength to be an opposing force on both ends of the court. But his versatility makes him a tough cover with the ability to play 1-5 effectively. Jaden has good ball handling skills to be a strong facilitator and great footwork and nice size to be dominant in the post. A fierce mid-range and can knock down the three when needed..He uses his long wingspan to impact gobbling up boards and plays outstanding defense. Jaiden is a ruthless shot blocker. Gets a lot of steals as well.
Last year Jaden averaged 20 points, 8.9 rebounds, for a total of 579 points and 257 rebounds, 65 total 3P 36% from the 3 , 49.3 FG%, 67.8% from FT. In the AAU Jaden averaged 16 points, 9 rebounds. His favorite accomplishment from AAU was winning the Big Shots National Championship. Jaden's biggest improvement has been his footwork and speed. Jaden's goals going into the season were to repeat as district champions for 3rd straight year and a state tournament appearance earning All-State mention, All-Region , !st region team and all district. They did 3 peat as region champions. Coaches should know what separates Jaden from the rest is his length and shooting ability . Also noteworthy in that is his ball handling and low post footwork and dominance with his back to the basket .His shot blocking is top notch and ability to play multiple positions . He runs the cort well and flows off the three line well. Jaden is a solid mid-major to low D1 level talent. Jaden has an intense work ethic and a high ceiling. Jaden would consider a lower division if it's a good fit. It is region time, keep an eye on this young star.
