6-4, 175 – Point Guard
Mullins, SC
Mullins High School

Jalek Felton, nephew of Tar Heel great Raymond Felton, is quick, shifty and explosive on the offensive end of the floor. With his speed and athleticism, he fits well into North Carolina’s fast pace offense. At 6-4, he has a great height for a point guard and is very good at facilitating the ball to his teammates. Although he has a tendency to be a streaky shooter, he can shoot the ball well from outside. While Felton is good in transition, his decision-making with the ball could be better. Though great offensively, his defensive intensity is sometimes lacking.
