BIO

|

After finishing his storied career at St. Bonaventure in which he earned the 2018 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year award, Jaylen turned his sights to the NBA. He went undrafted in the 2018 Draft, signing a two-way deal with the Atlanta Hawks. Jaylen quickly became a fan favorite for his work ethic and ability to wow the crowd with his passing prowess. Throughout his rookie campaign Jaylen spent time between the G-League Erie Bayhawks and the Hawks as he continued to show his abilities. In mid-February, the Hawks converted Jaylen’s two-way contract to a regular NBA contract, signing him to a multi-year deal. Jaylen would play the majority of the 2019-20 season with the Wisconsin Herd before signing a NBA contract with the Portland Trail Blazers for the NBA restart in Orlando to finish the season.

“Everybody is the best at this point. You have to come ready every single night. There’s only a certain number of spots, so you have to understand that you need to bring it every single day. It’s a job now.”
