Jamari McDowell

McDowell is long and athletic with a solid frame that is only going to continue filling out. He runs and jumps with ease, covers the court, and gets well above the rim. While more wing than true guard right now, there is a skill-set that is clearly developing. He was reportedly not known as a shooter coming up the ranks, but shoots a clean and easy ball now and even flashes some glimpses of tough shot-making potential. Similarly, he is not an overly dynamic creator yet, but is good enough with the ball to be a potential big secondary handler and pick-and-roll threat down the road. Defensively, there’s clear tools with his length, size, effortless mobility, and a generally high motor. Overall, McDowell appears to be a rapidly emerging wing who combines physical tools, budding skill, good intangibles, and some big-guard potential to impact the game on both ends of the floor.
