Elite 80 Expo Profile: Jared Nickens

Name: Jared Nickens

Position: Shooting Guard

HT: 6’2
Hometown: North Brunswick, NJ

AAU Team: Jersey Shore Fliers

Strengths: Nickens is a wiry forward and has the long limbs that indicate he’s nowhere near done growing. His outside shot has good form and he’s very confident shooting it. His length also plays a factor in rebounding and playing the passing lanes.

Areas of Improvement: Nickens will need to get stronger like most of his peers. He also will need to work on putting the rock on the floor and creating his own shot. Right now he’s a player under the radar but with these enhancements watch out for his stock in high school.
