Purdue Basketball: Scouting the Freshmen - Jaden Ivey
Marc Lebryk-USA TODAY Sports Jaden Ivey Scouting Report
Physical Ability
You can tell Jaden grew up around a basketball court and a weight room, because he looks like he’s carved from granite. He’s listed at 6’4”, 200 pounds on Purdue’s official roster, and based on his physique, that puts him around 0% body fat. Dude is cut up.
On top of being an Adonis, he’s an explosive athlete who will attempt to dunk on anyone that stands between him and the basket. His strength allows him to absorb contact at the rim and finish, which is a nice bonus.
