INTRODUCTION
Jalen Johnson has had a successful career in the NCAA Division II, scoring over a 1000 points and playing for three seasons at Lenoir-Rhyne before transferring to the Hurricanes, where he earned Second Team honors in the Peach Belt in 2024. A handler capable of creating space off the dribble for a shot or to find a teammate (4.7 assists last season). He possesses a very deep shooting range (38.7% on 6.2 attempts) but is also able to attack the rim with his floaters or from mid-range. Although he can improve on finishing around the rim. On the defensive end, he can impact on the ball, and his quick hands lead to steals (1.9 per game) or forcing turnovers from opponents. His energy allows him to have a significant impact despite not having notable size. A handler capable of managing the team’s tempo and being a scorer when necessary. A player of considerable value for any entry-league team.
