Personal Statement

Basketball is such a competitive sport that immediately drew me in from the time I was a young child, around age 3. Basketball for me, feeds my desire to win, be competitive, stay active, and fulfill my athletic dreams. I am a team player, who likes to bring about a “team-minded” culture. I want everyone to feel like they are a part of a family and we win together. That starts with me as a point guard, having leadership. Sometimes that leadership looks like encouraging my teammates on the court, and off the court like giving them pointers, establishing trust, and spending time around them.

I have worked diligently and I believe that I deserve an opportunity to play at the collegial level and to gain further player development. I also believe your program can push me beyond the high school level, and prepare me for what lies ahead. I can contribute a lot to this basketball program if I am in the right position.

Shareef Jones, of Philadelphia, PA (PA) Lower Merion HS, is a 5'10 145lb 2021 prospect from our Fall 2017 PHILADELPHIA camp. College coaches on camp staff identified Shareef as having college potential. Shareef has a good wingspan, which can be more effective with active hands/feet. Addiitonally, the prospect appears to have solid size for position and should use their size to be a pest on defense. The talented passer, distributes the ball well always seeing the floor and anticipating where andwhen teammates will be open creating easy buckets. In terms of ball handling, it was one of the strongest aspects of the player's game. The player makes great use of change of speed and change of direction. The prospect's Basketball IQ definitely stood out at camp and proved to be really good. Through continued emphasis on making the right play through watching/learning the game, it can be a big advantage in recruiting. A big part of IQ is shot selection. Shareef does a great job of understanding when there is enough time and space to shoot the ball and will continue to develop this knowledge by watching how this is done at various college levels. Making the extra pass and taking only openin-rhythm shots proved to be a reliable asset for the prospect. The prospect was able to consistently knock down shots during camp showing to be a reliable asset. Shooting will continue to develop with form shooting and made game speed repetitions. We recommend making at least 500 game speed shots a day off the screen(curl/fades), off the bounce, spot shooting, etc. The talent impressed finishingaround the rim through contact and in traffic. With continued work finishing through traffic with either hand, adding even more finishing moves, the player will continue to be a grave threat around the basket. The talented player has very good athletic ability for size and age. ScoutsFocus would like to see continued development in speed/agility and vertical development. Jump rope drills are great full body conditioning drill we highly recommend if not ready for a rigorous weight-training program. The prospect is very strong for their age. The college game is an entirely different beast so continued strength development is crucial to prepare going against 23-24 year-olds. Combined with the player's solid frame that should to continue to build year around, the player will be physically ready to play at the next level. The talent showed a very good motor (highly coveted skill by college coaches) that remained mostly active on possessions and from what we saw, the player had a physical and mental toughness that will be coveted at the next level. The player showed a great understanding and effort on the defensive side of the ball and should continue to focus on individual and team defensive concepts emphasized at camp. Shareef has college potential with continued hard work and development both in the classroom and on the hardwood. Can play the 1.
