I figured I would take my best shot at the Mr. Basketball award as it stands right now. This is only my opinion. Feel free to disagree in the comments. Trey JamesTreyJames6'10" | CMartin County | 2021StateKY leaving early for college has opened up a lot of votes as I expected Eastern Kentucky to rally behind the big man.
The Favorite:
Zion Harmon
ZionHarmon5'10" | PGMarshall County | 2021State#52NationKY, Marshall County - I honestly never though that Harmon could win what is essentially a popularity contest but when we posted a tweet asking who they would vote for, Harmon was the overwhelming choice. Zion should have the numbers to impress voters and could cap a career that started with a state championship at Bowling Green by winning Mr. Basketball.
The Second Favorite:
Ben JohnsonBenJohnson6'3" | CGLexington Catholic | 2021StateKY, Lexington Catholic - The best player on a top team in the state this season, Johnson spent his Junior season racking up big wins while putting up huge numbers. It’s going to be hard to top the numbers Johnson should put up (barring injury or otherwise) and Catholic is likely to play a big schedule as usual. Statistically, he out-performed Harmon in every category and won more games
