The point guard crop in the 2024 rankings is not going to blow you away right now but chances are that there are several really good prospects we haven’t seen or heard about yet. Let’s take a look at the top small forwards in the class. Player High School Height Notes Darrell Bateman Christian County 6’4 Has a chance to be special once he puts it all together. Long and athletic with improving skill level. Kade Unseld Kade Unseld 6'3" | SF Warren Central | 2024 State KY Warren Central 6’3 Great shooter with huge long term upside. Likely to end up 6’6 or taller and going to be battle tested over the years. Brady Shoulders Brady Shoulders 6'5" | PF Lyon County | 2024 State KY Lyon County 6’3 A solid second scorer for a young Lyon County team. He has high upside as a shooting wing.  Vince Dawson Vince Dawson 6'5" | SF Great Crossing | 2025 KY Great Crossing 6’3 Already a big piece for a young Great Crossing team. Has potential as a big wing who can step out and shoot or attack the rim.

Has to keep improving overall athleticism.
