Weaknesses
He is below average athleticism can hinder his ability to consistently create off the dribble, particularly against quicker defenders.
His lack of lateral quickness poses challenges defensively, making it difficult for him to stay in front of faster opponents and effectively guard on the perimeter.
He sometimes exhibits poor shot selection, taking ill-advised shots that disrupt the offensive flow and reduce scoring efficiency.
He needs to improve his overall conditioning, as better fitness levels will enhance his performance on both ends of the court and help him maintain high energy throughout games.

Summary
Jaylon does a good job creating his own shot, driving to the rim or with step-back jump shots, and is active as a defensive rebounder who pushes the ball effectively in transition. He demonstrates solid playmaking abilities, creating scoring opportunities for teammates through accurate passes and smart decisions, and finishes strong at the rim, absorbing contact to convert tough layups. However, his below-average athleticism can hinder his ability to create off the dribble, and his lack of lateral quickness presents defensive challenges. Additionally, he sometimes takes poor shots, disrupting offensive flow, and needs to improve his overall conditioning to maintain high energy throughout games.
