Quick, Playmaking Guard Who Brings Shooting and Rim Pressure to FAU
Jalen Gaffney projects as a useful combo guard because he blends quickness, ball-handling, and perimeter shooting with enough playmaking to help run an offense. As a senior at Florida Atlantic in the 2023-24 season, he played in 34 games with 19 starts, averaged 5.6 points and 3.3 assists, and finished third on the team with 83 assists, which points to a connector-type guard rather than a pure scorer.[1] Recruiting reports describe him as very quick, able to attack the rim with either hand, and capable from deep, though he is still adding strength.[5] He looks like a fit for a team that values pace, guard depth, and decision-making over size.[1][5]
