Jesperson is a very interesting prospect, given his size and skills. He is a legit 6'7", but is still rather skinny. He has gotten bigger since the summer, but he still needs to add strength/weight to make himself into a high major prospect. He is a solid athlete, but is not terribly explosive. As far as positives go, he is a very good ball-handler and passer for a player his height. He spends a good deal of time running the point for his HS team, and will handle those duties in AAU play when the games get tight or opponents try to apply pressure. His best skill is shooting the ball. He is obviously tall, but he also has great mechanics and a quick release, which allow him to get off shots even when defended well. He is more than a spot up shooter, but he would probably need to make some physical improvements to excel at other parts of the game at the Big 10 level. I would guess that Paul would probably end up playing primarily SF at the next level.
UW has shown some interest, as recently a holiday tournament in December. However, one of the Badgers' 2010 signees (6'8" forward Duje Dukan) is a similar player and may have effectively taken Jesperson's spot. Arizona St. and Butler are his best offers, and Northwestern is taking a serious look at him too. Carmody and an assistant were at the same holiday event as one of UW's assistants.
