While Harrison Barnes set the table for Iowa on a national level the past few years, Jok is already ahead of where Barnes was at this age. A ridiculous blend of size, instincts, altheticism and skill We've raved about this young talent since he exploded on the scene during the 2009 NY2LASPORTS.COM SWISH & DISH SPRING WARM-UP much the same as Barnes did during the 2008 edition. Last July a number of college coaches took to the sidelines at the NY2LASPORTS.COM NEXT LEVEL INVITATIONAL to see if Jok was as advertised as he squared off against fellow 2013 talent Alex Foster and his team. Despite playing on one ankle due to an injury the night before, Jok still knocked down 5 trey balls in the first half and posted a 24 piece before the break that had the coaches buzzing. Offers dropped on the spot and questions were answered for all who had them. Bottom line is this young man is explosive, dominant, skilled, and still has an enormous amount of room to grow. Has a lethal mid range and perimeter stroke that's virtually unstoppable when he gets it going.
