Height: 6'10"

Weight: 220

Position: Power Forward

Team: Arizona

Class: Freshman
Strengths

Right-handed… Long, lean power forward with excellent athleticism, agility and body control for someone of his size and length. He moves so well without the ball in his hands, and is always looking for the dump down pass or the roll option on the high screen. Jerrett has a great wingspan which allows him to play even bigger than his 6'10" frame and helps him make up for some of his lack of bulk. Along with a quick bounce of the floor and his length, Jerrett can sky well-above the rim to finish plays in the paint and defensively, he blocks and alters shots both on his man and coming from the help side… He runs well in the open floor, getting out in transition or serving as the trailer, but shows great hands and anticipation off the pass… On the offensive glass, Jerrett has demonstrated his soft touch to tip-in missed shots or come down, settle himself and explode right back up for the put-back… He has a soft jumper and range out to 12-15 feet, even knocking down the occasional 3-pointer when left open…
Weaknesses

Jerrett's biggest weakness right now is his lack of bulk. He struggles to hold post positioning and finish around the rim with contact due to his slender frame in both his upper and lower body. Combined with a perceived passiveness in the paint has him fading back and avoiding contact or just going up softly and anticipating the foul. Jerrett doesn't offer much in terms of low-post scoring in the half-court setting. Almost all of his offense comes in movement without the ball, put-backs or in transition. Seldomly will Jerrett make the drop step middle or baseline with a baby hook shot. Given his size, length and ability to get off the floor, this is an absolute area of need for Jerrett… Jerrett has some ability to put the ball on the floor, but only appears doing so with his man playing off of him, never under pressure. He needs to develop more confidence and strengthen his handle. If he wants to play the finesse game, a strong rip-through would do him wonders.
