Scouting Journals for Jelani Hamilton

Jelani Hamilton has a strong frame, broad shoulders, long arms, and great positional size. The first thing you notice about his game is the pace with which he plays. The 6-foot-6 guard is never rushed, playing primarily on the ball for his high school team. While he is not an elite athlete, and while he can play too upright at times, he can get to his spots using changes of speed. He has a smooth shot that he confidently takes, with range, off the bounce or the catch. There are a lot of positive attributes to Hamilton’s game, most of which center around his jump shot.
