Player Profile: Jett Briceno (2019)
The junior guard out of Kentridge High School has set high expectations for this season and for himself personally.
With good size and skill, the two-way player has the ability impact at both ends. Standing at 6’5, Briceno can score from anywhere- in the paint, mid-range, and from outside. He has great touch around the rim and a solid jumper from outside. Briceno plays with great court awareness, making him a very efficient player and teammate.
“I feel like my basketball IQ is my biggest strength. I feel like I can score at all three levels of the floor. If you take one away I can hurt you from the other two areas.”
Briceno plays with confidence in his game, and it shows. Prep Hoops has Briceno ranked #34th overall in the 2019 class. But with his drive and passion for the game, Briceno could very well climb that ladder. His level of play has gained recognition from several schools, including- Montana, Montana State, and Idaho. And being just a junior, Briceno’s recruiting door is still wide open.
“I think I need to continue to work on and improve all areas of my game. I have big goals, and am only going to reach those goals if I’m constantly improving.”
