Bio:

Jaime is a quick and explosive point guard. Plays with the confidence, mental toughness and ambition which are necessary to succeed at the top level. Has great open court speed and likes to attack in transition. He is very good at changing direction without losing speed or control of the ball. He is extremely dangerous off the dribble, where his first step and nice handles allow him to explode by defenders. Gets to the rim and finishes well with a nice mix of moves. Good free throw shooter. His  jumpshot of the dribble looks smooth and he has a quick release. Jaime is still improving his 3point shot. Has the ability to go a lot to the free throw line. Defensively, he has very quick hands and great lateral foot speed allowing him to stay in front of his man… Enjoys pressuring ball handlers … Anticipates well and gets out into the passing lanes. Jaime is a hard working kid with a brilliant future ahead.
