What are the stipulations? None, really. Regardless of position, here are the best players in the city (in my opinion). This is based off last season’s performance along with their play in the Bluegrass Fall League and Invite League.
- Sekou Kalle Sekou Kalle 6'9" | C DeSales | 2021 State KY , DeSales – Sekou is a throwback post player who plays with his back to the basket and protects the rim on defense. Recently signed with Akron, Kalle should keep developing his game and can be an all conference player by his Junior year.
- Cam Pope Cam Pope 6'2" | CG Male | 2021 State KY , Male – One of the biggest stock risers in the state over the last year, Pope showed the ability to score all over the floor. Capable of playing on or off the ball, Cam has signed with Jacksonville State and could see the floor as a freshman thanks to his shooting ability.
- Jaden Rogers Jaden Rogers 6'1" | PG Fern Creek | 2021 State KY , Fern Creek – Jaden has been a known commodity longer than anyone else on this list as it seems like he has been playing at Fern Creek for a decade. Rogers has a high skill level and can really score the ball. He’s probably the front runner for 6th region player of the year if he gets to play most of a season.
- Delshawn Sims Delshawn Sims 6'0" | PG Seneca | 2021 State KY , Seneca – Sims broke out as one of the top guards in the city last season and has a chance to be a dark horse candidate for regional player of the year if he can get Seneca in contention for a regional title.
- Jaylen Fairman Jaylen Fairman 5'11" | PG Jeffersontown | 2021 IN , Jeffersontown – J-Fair is a talented player who thrives as a facilitator just as much as he does as a scorer. The point guard is a bulldog on defense and the J-Town roster will be tough to beat in March if they all adapt his personality on the court.
- Darrius Washington Darrius Washington 6'6" | PF Fern Creek | 2021 State KY , Fern Creek – Darrius is a traditional post player who play primarily on the block. Signed to Western Carolina, Washington has a chance to increase his individual stats this season with the absence of Zek Montgomery at FC.
- Cearius Warren, Fern Creek – Warren stands to benefit the most from the transfer of Montgomery as he should get more playing time and more freedom to play through mistakes. Cearius is an explosive athlete and plays above the rim but still needs to raise his overall skill level to play more as a wing than a post.
- Dez Lindsay Dez Lindsay 6'6" | PF Male | 2022 State KY , Male – One of the best defenders in the city, Lindsay has the skills to play inside and out but hasn’t had as much opportunity as he should in his Senior season. He showed flashes of D1 upside in the Fall League.
- Ayden Mudd Ayden Mudd 6'6" | PF St. Xavier | 2021 State KY , St. X – Mudd is a stretch 4 or face up 5 man who is headed to Bellarmine for his college ball. Ayden has been mainly a role player at St. X in the past couple of seasons but has a chance to thrive as a Senior since he is such a matchup problem for most Louisville rosters.
- Shane Bibby Shane Bibby 6'0" | PG Eastern | 2022 State KY , Eastern – New to Eastern after playing the last three seasons at Central, Bibby is hoping a change of scenery can help his college stock and give him a chance to win a 7th region title in his Senior year. A good shooter, Shane should see more open looks with a better supporting cast around him with the Eagles.
