She is a natural basketball player who makes excellent decisions with the ball in her hands. She has a strong ability to read defenses and knows exactly when a play is or isn't there. She is quick off the dribble and can fly up and down the court, consistently beating her opponents in transition and finishing strong at the rim.

She is an absolute ball hawk on defense, smothering opponents and at times she will just snatch the ball right out of her opponent's hands.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["276134"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"So many positive things to say about this speedy PG who also reached the 1,000 point milestone this past season.

Defensively, Jada shows very natural instincts. She is a very pesky defender who consistently beat opponents to their spots and cuts off their driving lanes. She anticipates passes very well and can fly down the court for easy buckets after forcing turnovers. Jada is a prospect coaches will certainly want to keep track of over the course of the season. u003cspan class=u0022Apple-converted-spaceu0022u003e u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["612309"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"The first thing that jumps out when watching the 2024 guard is the her constant activity.
