"He is a court manager who is able to dictate the tempo in the attack when he has the ball, and to find free players both in the half court and in transition. Moreover, he is more than capable of creating shooting situations for himself with the help of his creative ball control and the soft touch on difficult shots," they added.
"He is currently playing for the top French club Villerban, Jacob is getting important minutes both in the local league and in the Euroleague and he is only 19 years old. Without a doubt this will help him develop into one of the leading center backs in Europe."
