Player to Watch:
Nick Spalding Nick Spalding 6'0" | PG Paul Laurence Dunbar | 2023 State KY , Dunbar – There haven’t been many hotter scorers than Spalding in the last month or so. He’s had huge scoring games against teams like North Laurel and Lexington Catholic (twice). His shot selection can be a little erratic but on a roster like this, he shouldn’t see double teams or traps to get the ball out of his hands and if teams do trap him, he’s a capable passer.
X-Factor:
Will Furnish Will Furnish 6'11" | C Harrison County | 2023 KY , Harrison County – Furnish had modest stats in his Sophomore season but he is going to attract coaches and scouts thanks to his elite level size. He’s a decent athlete who is still needing to add bulk and improve his overall athleticism but his upside is tremendous and could provide a big anchor in the post for this squad.
Stock Watch:
Jaden Biggers Jaden Biggers 6'6" | PF Bryan Station | 2023 State KY , Bryan Station – Biggers is a throwback big man with a polished low post game but didn’t get a ton of touches at Station this season. This could be a breakout summer for Jaden as he has a big frame and good hands in addition to being able to score around the block. If he develops a midrange game and gets more active as a rebounder, he could see his stock soar.
