Woodz Elite big man expected to see increased attention

The Warmup basketball tournament has an impressive list of talent playing this weekend in Northwest Arkansas and 17-under Woodz Elite will feature a promising big man in Jason Jitaboh.

Woodz Elite coach Charles Baker thinks highly of Jitaboh’s ability.

“He moves well, he has nice feet and hands,” Baker said. “He’s an SEC player. He’s going to sign on that level.”

Jitaboh, 6-11, 270 pounds, played at Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and averaged 8.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks a game for 28-7 Hawks while sharing time with 7-foot-1 Uros Plavsic.

“He’s a great kid, very coachable,” Baker said.
