Jayden “Dice” McGee
Student Athlete of the Week
12/31 – 1/6
Jayden McGee
Jayden McGee, a Chicago, IL native, currently resides in Tempe, AZ as a top class of 2028 point guard in the area. Jayden started playing basketball in 2018 with the Boys and Girls Club. Since then, Jayden has played for Centennial Middle School and his current school, Fees College Preparatory Middle School. Jayden is also the Student Body President, Honors Team Member, and one of the Captains for the varsity basketball team. He’s currently the point guard for the Humble Savage 14U Black AAU basketball team.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jayden in December of 2022 and instantly gravitated towards his skillset on the court. His ability to put pressure on defenses by getting to the rim and finishing around bigger defenders is among the best in his class. Standing at 5’11 and 141 lbs, his length allows him to defend multiple positions and get into passing lanes at ease. As a lengthy, quick point guard, Jayden is able to rebound and get out on fast breaks to make decisions for the betterment for his team.
Watching him compete against the top players in the Western Division at the CP3 Middle School Combine solidified his name as one of the best around in his class. His talent and maturity stood out amongst 400+ campers and landed him a spot on the Top 20 All-Star teams in 2022 and 2023. The sky is the limit for this young professional.

“My favorite basketball player is Kevin Durant. Outside of basketball, I like playing 2K and riding my bike around the neighborhood. My uncle is my role model. He taught me most of what I know about basketball and always found time to help me get better.”
