17-year-old, 7-foot-4 Jagmeet Singh showed why he has earned the nickname “Indian Wemby” with a breakout performance at Courtside Camp.
Video from Courtside Camp revealed a unique combination of size, movement, and skill by the Punjabi prospect from the Class of 2027. Singh showed the ability to handle the ball in transition, finish at the rim, hit three-pointers, and, of course, protect the paint on defense.
His size and abilities naturally invited comparisons between him and Victor Wembanyama, as premature as they may be.
Who Is Jagmeet Singh?
Jagmeet Singh was born in Tanda village in Punjab’s Hoshiarpur district. He only started playing basketball in 2022, but has quickly developed into one of India’s most promising young prospects at the Ludhiana Basketball Academy.
He currently resides in the Chicago area, where he performs for college recruiters and scouts while attending camps and playing with programs like AR Elite, according to Fadeaway World. Additionally, he has represented India, competing in Doha, Qatar, at the FIBA Under-16 Asia Championship.
Major recruiting services such as ESPN, Rivals, and 247Sports do not yet have Singh ranked, but that will surely change if he continues to impress the way he did at the Courtside Camp.
