Jada played with a very high motor and competed hard on both sides of the floor. She came out aggressive on the offensive end and immediately set the tone for her team. She showed she can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim, doing a great job creating contact and earning several trips to the free-throw line. Defensively, she used her length to deny post entry passes and get deflections that often turned into steals. After securing rebounds, she pushed the ball in transition like a freight train. She also protected the rim well throughout the nigh. Unfortunately, she took a hit to the head in the second half and exited the game, not returning.

Patton had a VERY strong freshman season for the Lady Bulldogs and should be riding momentum into her AAU season. After averaging 15 points and 6 rebounds this season, Jada is ready for a big summer. Dominant around the block, Patton is starting to look more comfortable when she’s out past the three point line. If she adds that aspect to her game, good luck guarding her.
