Comments: Jeremy is Mr. Versatility! He can do it all...Inside...Outside...Handle the ball...Rebound...Defend. To top it off, he's a very intelligent player. Majors question size because he plays the front line in high school. They want to know if he can defend the perimeter. Foot speed is the question. At the next level he would have to play the two/wing positions exclusively, whereas in high school, he will continue to do it all. Named to all-tournament team and MVP of 1998 WMSH Holiday Tournament (2 game totals: 49 points, 17 rebounds and 4 blocked shots). On 1/26/99 against Hackett Catholic Central he had 32 points and 16 rebounds.

Player Report
Player: Veenstra, Jeremy
School: Kalamazoo Christian
Grade: Senior
Position: Wing
Physical Characteristics
Height: 6' 6"
Weight: 202
Dominant Hand: Right


Ball Skills: Although his right hand is his dominant hand, he can effectively use his left. Perimeter ball skills: Good handle and effective passer. Is used to break the press against pressing teams. Not extremely quick with the ball, but difficult to take it away from him.
Shot Selection/Range: Plays the front line, but has the freedom to shoot anywhere. Has three-point range, but most effective 15 feet / in and going to the basket.
Conduct/Attitude: Very intense competitor. Aggressiveness gets him in foul trouble at times. Does not back down from a challenge. A leader who team mates look up to and respect. Very intelligent game. Understands what it takes to contribute to a winning team. A team player that is very supportive of his team mates.
Offensively: Is a scorer, not a pure shooter. Greater percentage of his scoring comes on post up moves; going to the basket; put backs and short range jumpers. Needs to improve coming off screens for shots at the next level. In high school, his long-range shots are usually unchallenged, so his release is slow. Needs to get a quicker shot release to play two spot or wing in college.
Defensively: Team plays a lot of match up zones and zone presses. He has average foot speed. That's the big question that all the "majors" ask: "Is he quick enough to defend the perimeter?" The answer is YES, because he's such an intelligent player. He covers passing lanes well and has excellent anticipation. Is a strong rebounder, who doesn't shy away from contact under the boards.
Games Scouted/Circumstances: Against Bronson (undefeated at the time); a strong Mattawan team; Hackett Catholic Central and Delton-Kellogg. Large crowd (SRO for Bronson, Hackett and Delton-Kellogg) at all games.
Projected Level of Play: Mid-level Division 1 or Upper Division II.
