As the son of one of the most esteemed Americans to ever play in the German BBL, Jacob has a great background. His tournament was cut short, due to playoffs in the German 3rd division, but nonetheless, he was able to leave his mark in the three games he has played. Standing at 6’8, has a nice size and can still bulk up in my eyes. Jacob, maybe is not the first option when it comes to scoring, but has other things he can offer to support his team. Understands the game well and knows how to position himself on both ends of the floor. Done a tremendous job on the glass, leading the whole tournament with 12.3 boards per game and also led his team with 4 assists per game. Ignited fastbreaks quickly after missed attempts. Kept his head up in the open court, shared the ball effectively with his teammates, making a big difference in the early offense. Was also able to explore some options off the PnR and probe defense for weaknesses. Could be a bit more careful with his execution though. Defensively, can do a decent job and switch onto other positions with some success, but could work on his PnR defense. Shot is still a work in progress.
