Coach Frank says: Jonathan Kabongo is a smooth shooting and lanky point guard who can flat out score the basketball! He has excellent handles and is shifty and explosive as he attacks the basket. He plays through contact, can finish with either hand and is much stronger than his wiry frame suggests. He scores from all 3 levels, is an excellent passer, has great vision and decision making skills. An elite playmaker who most scouts contend is more polished than his McDonald’s All American brother Myck at this point in his career, Jonathan can stroke threes with excellent consistency and also has a polished mid range game. He has excellent defensive footwork and plays in the offensive players bubble and does not get beat! So graceful in his movement on the court, the quick and long Kabongo covers a lot of court defensively and is an impact defender. One of the nation’s top point guard prospects, look for another huge summer for Boo Williams in the EYBL for this fast rising star.
