A scary and impressive talent that may be an NBA talent for years to come. Hailing from the mighty Chester High School, Hollis-Jefferson has the athletic ability, the desire to compete, and the will to defend. He can dominate games and plays with a motor. He needs a jumper, but his ability to finish around the rim will compensate. Hollis-Jefferson is a great athlete, and measures a 7’0.5” wingspan and is very, very strong. His combination of strength, quickness and explosiveness will allow him to match up with pros and his high energy and willingness to sacrifice his body will be hard for opponents to sustain.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson’s Stat Line for 2014-2015
