“Jalen Hill might be the best on-ball defender I’ve ever seen. He’s also an excellent passer, he can finish with both hands and he’s a high-percentage 3-point shooter. He’s got an elite-level, old school post-up game that you can’t stop and his IQ is off the charts. He’s the real deal.”

Paul DeSantis

Head Coach Head coach at Foothill High
