Jesús is kind of the perfect scorer. He has a prodigious hand and is able to score from everywhere beyond the arc, even with a defender on him.
He says he once scored as many as 63 three-pointers in a row and has a personal best mark of 94 free throws without missing one. He is a human machine gun who has already won eleven 3-point shootout contest. One of his former teams -Almácera- even has a plate in the gym where states “Jesús scored 57 treys during a practice here.”
