2024 five-star forward Jayden Quaintance became somewhat of a viral sensation this past year, showing off a deep bag of tricks simply not owned by traditional bigs. At 6-10, 225 pounds, the Cleveland native is capable of putting the ball on the floor and creating scoring opportunities around the basket. He’s fluid and quick, but a powerful and vicious finisher. And he’s expanding his game as a jump shooter.

Sure, he’s raw and extremely young — he just turned 16 this month.
