Tarleton State freshman Jaden Jinks brings size, rim presence and glue-guy value
Jaden Jinks is a 6-foot-8 freshman forward for Tarleton State whose pre-college profile pointed to a physical, high-IQ frontcourt piece: strong rebounding, solid screen-setting and the kind of paint defense that helps a team without needing plays run for him[1][16]. Tarleton’s roster lists no college statistics yet, so the appeal is projection rather than production right now[9]. If you want a developmental big who can add toughness, second-chance opportunities and low-drama interior utility, he looks like a sensible fit[16].
