Jalek Felton (#26, 247Sports)

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

COMMITTED: UNC

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 great height for a point guard and is very good at facilitating the ball to his teammates.

Felton is great in transition and has worked hard to improve his decision-making with the ball. Although he has a tendency to be a streaky shooter, he can shoot the ball well from outside and is capable of pouring in 30 points on any given night.

Improvement on the defensive end will make him an extremely valuable asset to have on both ends of the court.
