RALEIGH, N.C. — Jordan Page is only 15.

He’s a 6-foot-5 lefty and probably the next big basketball star to come out of Wake County, averaging almost 24 points per game for the Broughton Capitals.

At 15, he already looks, moves, and talks like a pro, a man of few words. The few words that come out are about one thing — winning.

When Page and the Caps were defeated in the John Wall Holiday Tournament in December, Page didn’t want to talk about all the attention or scoring on that stage.

“I’m just looking to win,” Page said.

Recently, when he was sidelined with a minor ankle injury, Page watched his teammates edge out Enloe at home. It killed him to be a spectator, but even after the game, he was more eager to talk about his team winning than he was talking about himself.

“Fight,” he answered when asked what he saw in his teammates from the bench. “They keep fighting no matter what.”

Page didn’t want to get too comfortable watching. The Caps lost the next two without his services.

But then they won the next two, which included turning a 17-point loss to Cardinal Gibbons without Page into a 19-point win in the second meeting with him.

The Capitals are much better, obviously, when he’s playing. And, hopefully, for the next two years, Triangle basketball fans will get to see the development of one of the greats.

Page burst onto the scene as a freshman, averaging 18 points to lead Broughton in scoring and earn HighSchoolOT Honorable Mention All-State honors — a rarity for any ninth-grader.

That was the just intro.

As a sophomore, he’s already been voted a team captain and he is ranked as the No. 7 sophomore in the nation, according to 247 Sports.

A captain and a top 10 player in the nation at only 15 is a lot to manage.

Page isn’t fazed.

“I just take it the same way as last year, staying humble,” Page said. “Keeping the main thing the main thing.”

Page’s coach, former N.C. State guard Scott Wood, said the captain nod was an anonymous vote by his teammates, but says a lot about how his peers view him on and off the court.

“We have high expectations for them (captains),” Wood said. “They have to hold their teammates accountable, make sure they are on time. The seniors, juniors look to him for leadership.”

Wood pointed out our Page is first in every sprint, he shows up early, doing his skill work and is getting better being more vocal.

Basketball, though, is the easy part.

Even with the added attention from teammates (as a captain) and college coaches, Page doesn’t blink.

“It’s nothing different, I just stay focused,” Page said. “I don’t really focus on it too much.”

Page might not speak on it much, but the rankings and the line of college coaches making their way to Holiday Gym speaks volumes. Wood, who played for the Wolfpack from 2009-2013, knows what a high major player looks like and that Page checks all the boxes.

“His athleticism jumps off the chart,” Wood said. “He’s a freak athletically and the next thing is his motor.”

At Broughton, Page plays with the ball in his hands a lot, out of need, but Wood expects Page to project as a shoot guard or small forward in college. Part of the problem of being so good at this level means seeing a lot of double and triple teams every night.

“He flew under the radar last year, then gets ranked nationally,” Wood said. “People are going to be in the gaps, play help side defense. It’s going to happen, it’s high school basketball. He’s got to learn to play without the ball sometimes and trust his teammates to get him in different spots.”

The double teams won’t stop, neither will the interview requests, phone calls and visits from coaches. The wise beyond his years Page won’t budge.

“I’m going to always play the same, work hard. It’s always the same to me.”
