Jaylee is a fun watch, because she is an absolute bruiser inside, though she also possesses some skill around the perimeter. There are a lot of situations where she likes to initiate contact, play with physicality, and use her athleticism at her size to finish over/through taller defenders. She has a motor and a nose for the ball, making her a tremendous rebounder, but she can also hold her ground as an interior defender, box out, and limit possessions for the opponent. Around the perimeter, she is improving her handle and jump-shot, and as both of those continue to develop, she’s becoming an inside-out problem.

Jaylee is a big part of a resurgence at Marion, plus she is a really nice college prospect who should continue to improve over the next couple of years. Last season, she was a walking double-double who used her strength and athleticism to dominate the boards, score it consistently around the block, and defend with effort. She is probably closer to 5-10 now, and she’s starting to add a more efficient perimeter game. She has some similarities to Indiana University-Indianapolis Freshman Destini Craig. Look for Jaylee with the Bates Fundamental 17U team this Spring.

At her height, I guess you could consider Jaylee “undersized”. But she is very physical, tough-nosed, and she works hard. She is one of those inside-out type of forwards who already really produces at the high school level. She can play an “undersized” ‘4’, she rebounds the ball at a high rate, and she can score it through contact at the rim. Jaylee also has the ability to put it on the floor and attack from the mid-post or the perimeter.
