Expert Analysis
Mindy McCarthy | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Jada Whitesides is quick with her change of direction moves and ball fakes knowing how to get her defenders off balance to blow right by them. She can create space to put up her shot around the arc, or she can finish at the rim attacking the basket. She does a nice job making defenders close in around her, so she can make a dish to her teammates. She’s sneaky on the other end of the court stripping the ball away from her opponents and taking these steals the other direction.

Jada Whitesides is a high motor guard who can get to the basket no matter who may be trying to block her way. She is swift with her handles changing speed and directions causing her defenders to lose their balance and lose a step on her. She is quick to pull up for a jumper if she’s not attacking the basket, and she can set herself up well around the perimeter.

So many positive things to say about this speedy PG who also reached the 1,000 point milestone this past season. A three level scorer who ‘s speed allows her to get to the basket at will. She displays great leadership qualities and is a very unselfish player that looks to get her teammates involved. 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.
