Jayden Quaintance

Draft Notes

Jayden is a big time talent with lottery potential. He’s super young for his class and won’t be eligible until the 2026 draft.

He’s got a strong and athletic 6-10 frame with good length. He’s a very coordinated athlete for a player his size, has a lot of burst, bounce and agility.

Jayden hits the boards hard and makes his impact felt in the paint. He takes it hard to the rim and can finish through contact. He’s also got an emerging mid range game and developing outside shot.

He’s not the flashiest player but is a hard worker on both ends and has a major impact on the game, even if he’s not scoring the ball. He’s a special talent and a likely lottery pick.
