Slaughter led ISO Joe to its first win in the Nike EYCL Session 4, and some of his highlights were uploaded on Instagram by SLAM High School on Wednesday. The forward showed off his bounce, dunking the ball over the defenders and making sure to collect second-chance points. He was also seen hustling to steal the ball and convert points on the fast break.

"Jayden Slaughter just led Joe Johnson’s ISO JOE EYCL squad to a win to kick off Session 4 😈," the post was captioned.
