Canada2025-2026 OUTLOOK
Jibran battled for the top GN PTS spot all year falling just short, finishing a respectable 3rd in 2024/2025. He had the best GN PPG average once again, earning him the MVP award last season. All this translates to him being atop the GN mountain for the coming season. Jibran needs to continue to work on his leadership but regardless, is one or two bounces away from finally attaining the exclusive Got Next Champion title.
PLAYER DESCRIPTION
He’s not the strongest, he’s not the fastest, he doesn’t jump the highest, he doesn’t have the best shooting form, then how does Jibran James make it look so easy? Jibs makes an elite level impact in every facet of the game. Offensively he’s got a consistent shot from all parts of the court, he has a back to basket game, he’s a willing and more then capable passer but he’s also elite at moving without the ball. Defensively, his quick feet and instincts make him a good one on one defender but his athleticism and ability to read the offense makes him perhaps an even better help defender.
