DaShawn Jackson DaShawn Jackson 6'3" | SG Frederick Douglass | 2021 State KY , Frederick Douglass – Jackson is one of the best guards in Lexington and doesn’t seem to get mentioned as much as he should when discussing top Juniors in the state. With his ability to score inside and out, DaShawn could have a breakout season for the Broncos this season.
DeAjuan Stepp DeAjuan Stepp 6'5" | SF West Jessamine | 2021 State KY , West Jessamine – Dee is a versatile guard who can play multiple positions and can really defend when he locks in. Stepp played out of position for a lot of his high school career so far but should get the ball in his hands more this year.
Dez Lindsay Dez Lindsay 6'6" | PF Male | 2022 State KY , Male – A two sport star, Dez has really stepped his game up over the last year or so. Legitimately 6’5 and still growing, Dez has high potential as a face up 4 man who can put the ball on the floor. He’s also an excellent rebounder.
KJ Crump KJ Crump 5'8" | PG University Heights | 2021 State KY , University Heights – If you’re looking for “eye test” players, KJ gets overlooked for his lack of height but he is an absolute dog on the court. He’s a pass first PG who makes winning plays and can absolutely lock up on defense when he needs to.
Trevor Hardin Trevor Hardin 6'6" | PF Henry County | 2021 State KY , Henry County – The 6’6 forward is overlooked because he plays at a small school but he’s strong and athletic with the ability to finish above the rim or stretch his game out to 18 feet and beyond, comfortably.
Jared Wellman Jared Wellman 6'4" | SF George Rogers Clark | 2021 State KY , George Rogers Clark – Already well over 1,000 career points, Wellman should step up into a big role for GRC this year. An exceptional rebounder for a guard/wing, Jared can have a really big season if he gets more aggressive than what he’s shown since his transfer from Lawrence County two years ago.
