Jacob Wilkins is a lengthy and explosive player. The upside is clear with him as you see the frame, the athleticism, the touch. It is all about consistency. He need to continue adding strength and live game reps. Wilkins is explosive in transition, able to quickly switch ends of the court and fill the lanes with a purpose as he gets above the rim. He has a jump shot that extends beyond the three point arc and with his feet set has good balance and consistent release and load. He needs to continue working on his balance/footwork and tightening his handle in the half court. Wilkins is getting better off one and two dribbles, learning his spots. There is high defensive upside here. Wilkins is still raw, but he is someone that continues to improve each time you check in. He is playing confidently, now it is about the consistency and continued development. The ceiling is very high here. He is the son of NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins.
