Pick Prediction: Lotto

Advantages:

1. Organizational Talent. Jamin is the best all-around playmaker in this rookie, with a rare vision and passing ability. He is good at creating opportunities in tactics, tearing open defenses, finding open spaces, and giving assists. Jamin's passing route is clever and can find the pass window from various angles, and most of the balls are in place, so the receiver can finish the finish without any adjustments.

2. Agile in action. As a player over two meters tall, Jamin's combination of speed, agility and balance is good, which makes him not seem dull when playing guard than other small players, and his movements will not deform when fighting against strong players. Jamin was quick to cut without the ball, and thanks to physical conditions, Jamin could easily finish the finish near the basket.

3. Outstanding football vendor. Jamin grew up in a European basketball environment and developed excellent game perception and ball merchandising. Jamin always makes the right choice in pick-and-roll and conversion offenses, and can attack him unpredictably. Jamin is good at predicting the opponent's intentions on the defensive end, and has a good defensive instinct, and can use his height, arms length and flexible movement to assist in defensive damage.

Disadvantages:

1. Shooting ability. Jamin doesn't look talented in shooting, and his shooting movements are a little stiff, making it difficult to hit the shot while holding the ball and off the ball. Jamin's free throw shooting percentage is less than 70%, his dribbling jump shot shooting percentage is only 18.8%, and his three-pointer catch is only 27.1%. This gives him limited influence when he is out of the ball, and he needs to have the ball in his hand to exert his full strength.

2. Scoring ability. The shooting shortcomings brought great obstacles to Jamin's personal offense. Jamin only scored 20+ points in one game in his freshman season, but in five games, he scored less than 5 points in 20 minutes. Jamin is easily targeted when his personal offense is not open, which affects his organizational ability. Most teams will choose to block his passing route and allow him to shoot in the open space on the outside.

3. Error control. Jamin averaged 27.5 minutes per game, 5.5 assists and 2.9 turnovers per game in his freshman season. His center of gravity is high when playing and his dribble is lacking in changes, which makes him prone to making mistakes when facing stress and physical confrontation.

Summary:

Jarmin came from a basketball family and trained at the Moscow Basketball Academy since he was a child. Jamin received an invitation from the Russian Professional League club at the age of 15, including 6 offers from other European clubs. In the end, Jamin chose to sign a six-year contract with Real Madrid. In 2022, Jamin helped Real Madrid's youth training team win the Spanish Youth Championship. Over the next two seasons, he traveled to and from the youth training team and reserve teams, and was promoted to the main team in 2023, making his debut at the age of 17. In 2024, Jamin accepted a NIL contract of more than $1 million from Brigham Young University, reached a buyout with Real Madrid to enter the NCAA, and helped Brigham Young to reach the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2011. As a point guard who is more than two meters tall, Jamin has almost the same advantages and disadvantages as other players of the same type: a broad vision, good at organization, unstable shooting, and slow defense. But Jamin has good athletic ability, and has been exposed to basketball since he was a child and has been influenced by European basketball culture. In addition, Brigham Young University's offensive style is similar to that of the NBA, which is very rare. Jamin needs to improve his personal offense, especially in shooting, to make himself a real threat to hold the ball. The ideal situation is to find the feeling of mid-range shots and throws near the three-second zone, otherwise the advantages of his unique style of play will only float on the surface.
