“Jamal is a high-energy player that can pressure the ball and guard multiple positions on the floor,” said Honey Badgers general manager Jermaine Anderson. “He is a proven rebounder from the guard position who is willing to do whatever it takes to win. More importantly, his character is a perfect fit for our organization. We’re extremely happy to have him join our family.”
