Strengths: Lefty point guard with tremendous speed and quickness and good playmaking ability At his best attacking the basket off the dribble. He uses his amazing first step and handle to get by opponents and finishes well in the lane with his great body control and touch around the basket Hes a legit lead guard with the ability to set teammates up, but his point guard skills arent quite at the level of his scoring ability. Although, this is the area of his game that has shown the most improvement in his junior season, as he has raised his A/TO ratio to close to 2/1 His excellent body strength helps him defensively and at finishing around the basket A very good athlete with solid explosiveness Excels at the drive and dish, drawing defenders to him and feeding teammates for baskets Really adept at handling the ball. He can dribble right through double teams Has excellent physical attributes for the NBA PG position with size, speed and strength His barrel chest allows him to overpower smaller PGs and play a physical brand of ball A solid defender with great hand and foot speed Solid from the line at 80%

Weaknesses: His outside shot is improved but very streaky. He can be cold for a few games and then heats up for a string of games Part of his shooting problems come down to shot discipline. If he improved his shot selection, his shooting averages would surely improve. At times he shoots contested jumpers early in the shot clock instead of being patient and creating a better shot for himself or a teammate His release on his shot is slow, making it tougher for him to get clean looks ... His ball handling is one of his great strengths, however he can get caught up over-dribbling the ball, disrupting ball movement as well as getting stripped when double teamed at the top of the key Not especially long armed. So despite being 6-1, he isnt a big 6-1 Can be a little too enamored with the flashy pass, although you hate to take away his creativity. He has certainly cut down on his turnovers so thats probably nitpicking

Notes: Jerrells still has holes to his game and room to improve but his potential is very intriguing If hes patient about leaving for the NBA, hell have a chance to be a first round pick in 2009, as his game continues to improve.
