HARD WORK PAYS OFF - JELANI ARCHER



Jelani Archer is a hard working student athlete. Last AAU season he fought for playing time on his 16u Atlanta Select Red team. His goal was to be ready when called, and when he was called he demonstrated that he was more than ready. He stated that playing with the best against the best improved his overall game.

Jelani is a starter on his high school (Heritage HS in Conyers) team. In the recent Henry County holiday tournament (Chuck Miller Holiday Classic) Jelani averaged more than 30 points per game, leading his team to the finals. His most deadly shot is the 3 pointer in which he hits approximately 50% of the time.

He is an excellent ball handler and leader on the court. But more so he gets his work done in the classroom. A true student athlete. In the off season he worked on his game at the Atlanta Select Skills Development practices. I am sure his high school coach is pleased with the development of Jelani's skills and to have such a well rounded hard working student athlete.

Jelani, Atlanta Select salutes you and wish you and your team at Heritage High, the mighty Patriots, a successful season.
