INTRODUCTION
Jaden Campbell is a guard from Samford, with whom he played three seasons after starting his college journey at a junior college in Florida Southwestern, finishing his sophomore season with 13.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game and shooting 38.5% from three.
His experience at Samford has been inconsistent, with a solid first year (10.2 points in 26.5 minutes on average, and 38.8% from three), and a transitional second year (7.7 points in 19.9 minutes with 33.6% from three).
This season, Campbell has shown himself to be one of the best shooters in all of college basketball, with an unreal average of 47.9% from three on 3.5 attempts per game (with 11.3 points). However, he is primarily this type of player, namely a great shooter. He can take over games if he gets hot, with a sooth and quick shooting release.
Defensively, he doesn’t possess outstanding skills, but he sometimes anticipates the game before his opponents. His foot speed is average. Nonetheless, he still averages 0.9 steals in 22.9 minutes of play and grabs 3.2 rebounds per game.
He is not a consistent player; he can easily have games with 15/20 points, but also with 2/5 points. He is the classic system player, efficient, who may perhaps be more decisive in a team with a less prominent role. With Samford, he played in the first round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament, with 18 points against Kansas and a 5/9 shooting from beyond the arc.
