(2022) - CG Jalen Hood-Schifino to INDIANA

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Mike Woodson and Kenya Hunter in to see Jalen Hood-Schifino at the City of Palms Classic.  Obviously, he's also getting to watch Kwame Evans and Derik Queen.

100% yes it is

The program is in good hands. It might not be popular with some of our fans, but kids with a defensive mentality pop up quite frequently in his targets. He clearly knows the type of team he wants and is going out to get them. I'm more than fine with the direction he wants to take us.

Montverde over Orlando Christian Prep 75 - 34 in the City of Palms Classic and will face Milton (GA) tomorrow at 9:00 p.m.  Haven't seen any individual stats but this comment from Elite High School Scouting:  Nice outings as well from  ‘23 KJ Evans & ‘22s Jalen Hood-Schifino (Indiana) in the runaway.

Jalen's stats for his 2 games at the City of Palms Classic.

12/18 a 76 -51  win over Berkmar 16 pts  on 7-12 FG; 2-5 on 3s; 0 FT; 6 reb; 2 asst; 1 stl; 0 blk; 2 TO.

12/20 a 73- 54 win over Orlando Christian  9 pts on 3-7 FG; 1-3 on 3s; 2-3 FT; 2 reb; 5 asst; o stl; 0 blk; 3 TO.

Comment on Jalen from the City of Palms -- Jalen Hood-Schifino had a solid game with Mike Woodson and staff in attendance. The Indiana signee plays under control and never tries to do too much. He is just the type of floor general that a team full of star power like Montverde needs.

Edited for accuracy.

Montverde over Milton (Bruce Thornton) 59-44 to move into the championship game of the City of Palms Classic to face Oak Hill.  Jalen 12 pts. on 4-8 FG; 1-3 on 3s; 3-4 FT; 5 reb; 3 asst; 1 stl; 0 blk; 0 TO.

Thornton finished with 16 pts. on 5-16 FG. 

Interesting sidelight.  Milton again finished with 0 bench points, doing so in back-to-back games, which was likely the determining factor here. Milton has a combined 2 bench points in the three games played at the COP so far.

Assuming JHS was matched up with Thornton on both ends. Both played the entire 32 minutes.

JHS with:

• 12 points on 8 shots
• 3 assists,
• 0 TOs,
• 5 rebounds, and
• 2 fouls. 

Thornton with:

• 12 points on 16 shots,
• 4 assists, 
• 5 turnovers,
• 11 rebounds, and
• 3 fouls. 

JHS has a better supporting cast, but outplaying Bruce Thronton in a head to head matchup is a good thing to see for sure.

Would like to know more about the 16 shots for Thornton though. Was he just chucking everything or was he getting open a lot and missed some open shots?

Montverde defeated Oak Hill 60-55 to win the championship of the City of Palms Classic.  Jalen with 10 pts. on just 2-11 FG; 1-4 on 3s; 5-6 FT; 4 reb; 5 asst; 0 stl; 0 blk; 1 TO.  He was named to the All City of Palms Classic team.

 

...Jalen Hood-Schifino also struggled offensively, but scored the game-securing free-throws for Montverde, and managed to finish with 10 points. The Indiana signee is one of the best on-ball defenders in high school basketball and held five-star junior Caleb Foster to only two field goals.

This is what I like about Jalen…even when his shot is off, he does things to help your team win. Play good defense, get some assists, and don’t turn the ball over much. And how long has it been since we had a PG who would knock down clutch FTs.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Clutch foul shooter in the win over Oak Hill and he was the primary defender on Bruce Thornton's 5-16 and 5 TO game on Tuesday.

There is definitely a Varsity vs JV vibe here. Still a really good event.
