Jaden Schooler Jaden Schooler 6'1" | PG Fern Creek | 2022 State KY , Fern Creek – The son of Fern Creek’s head coach, Schooler was a role player as a Sophomore and could see a bigger role this season. While his natural position is point guard, Jaden is likely best as a catch and shoot guard alongside Jaden Rogers Jaden Rogers 6'1" | PG Fern Creek | 2021 State KY or Darien Lewis Darien Lewis 6'1" | PG Fern Creek | 2022 State KY .
Julion Beard Julion Beard 5'10" | PG Butler | 2022 State KY , Butler – Beard has patiently waited for his chance to run the offense for Butler and his time has come. Two years ago he was the floor general for a talented Butler freshman team that will be the majority of the varsity rotation for the Bears this season. Capable of getting into the paint or knocking down an open 3, Julion should see a huge uptick in playing time and production this season.
Donovan Robinson Donovan Robinson 5'7" | PG Ryle | 2022 State KY , Ryle – Donovan was the leading scorer for the Raiders as s Sophomore and could be a 20 point per game scorer in his Junior season. Robinson struggled to score the ball inside the 3 point line and would really benefit from being more aggressive getting into the paint as he is an excellent free throw shooter. Added bulk would go a long way towards helping him finish through contact and becoming one of the top Juniors in the 9th region.
Trey Lovell Trey Lovell 6'0" | PG Muhlenberg Co | 2022 State KY , Muhlenberg County – Another volume shooter on this list, Lovell and Senior Nash Divine Nash Divine 6'0" | PG Muhlenberg County | 2021 State KY make up one of the best backcourts in western Kentucky but for the Mustangs to make the next step, both will need to become more efficient with their scoring. Lovell specifically struggled after a broken wrist but returned to play with a brace which likely hindered his shooting. Either way, Trey can be a top point guard in the 2022 class with improved scoring efficiency and has a chance to be a scholarship level recruit eventually.
Danye Frazier Danye Frazier 6'1" | PG Madisonville-North Hopkins | 2023 State KY , Madisonville-North Hopkins – Madisonville loses a lot to graduation but Frazier is one of the few veterans on their roster. Predominantly a facilitator on offense until now, Danye will need to take a scoring role, especially early in the Maroons’ season. In addition to needing to provide an offensive spark, Frazier will be counted on to contribute on-court leadership as well as offense early on.
Qua Chambers, Christian County – Chambers missed 12 games combined over the course of his Sophomore year and will need to stay on the court if he wants to get in the mix among the top guards in the 2nd region. More of a slasher than a shooter, Qua and fellow Junior Olajuwon White will be a formidable duo if Chambers can penetrate and drop it off to White for easy finishes. Qua only shot 4/18 from three in 19 games last year. If he can improve his shooting, he can be a difference maker in a wide open 2nd region.
