“Jaden is an elite scorer on all three levels, this is what makes him so hard to guard. His shot may be one of the most pure I have ever coached. What makes him such a complete player is that he can defend all five positions on the floor, which makes our team so much better.”

Steve Klein

Head Coach - head coach of Bellevue West High
