Jaden Nielsen-Skinner

Dynamic Point Guard with Elite Playmaking Pedigree Poised for Vikings Impact

Jaden Nielsen-Skinner, a 5'10" crafty guard, brings high school dominance—averaging 20.6 PPG, 7.4 APG, and 2.8 SPG his senior year at South Salem (2019-20)—to Portland State after starring at Saint Martin's (NCAA DII), where he led with 6.4 APG and 9.9 PPG in 29 starts (2022-23). His differentiator is elite vision and steals (team-high 4 in standout GNAC games), thriving as a quick, intense floor general despite size; no major injury history, perfect fit for teams needing a pesky, high-IQ facilitator who elevates offenses.
