Jerone Morton Jerone Morton 6'3" | SG George Rogers Clark | 2023 State KY , DM Elite – Morton is in the discussion for top player in 2022 and could be a front runner for Mr Basketball next season (unless he moves back to 2023). The skilled lefty should score a lot of points this weekend.
Tanner Walton Tanner Walton 6'3" | CG Lexington Christian | 2022 State KY , Griffin Elite – A highly skilled combo guard, Walton can play on or off the ball and excels at getting paint touches and scoring in the midrange. Walton is probably the best player in the class that never gets mentioned with the top players.
Tyson Barrett Tyson Barrett 6'8" | PF Frederick Douglass | 2023 FL , Cave Gym – Barrett is in the mix for best rebounder in the class and has a great nose for the ball. As a rim protector and rebounder, there aren’t many better in Kentucky right now and he’ll put some highlight dunks on film over the course of the weekend.
Kennedy Hayden Kennedy Hayden 6'3" | CG Ballard | 2022 State KY , Manimal Elite – One of the biggest risers this winter and spring, Hayden is going to be a top 10 prospect in the class when we update rankings again. The big guard is super skilled and can play on the ball or off as a shooter/playmaker.
Brant Smithers Brant Smithers 6'1" | CG Walton-Verona | 2022 State KY , Kentucky Select – Probably the best volume shooter in the class, Smithers is deadly in the catch and shoot or pull up game on offense. He’s the type that can explode for 30+ multiple games in a weekend.
Trey Lovell Trey Lovell 6'0" | PG Muhlenberg Co | 2022 State KY , Griffin Elite White – The athletic combo guard from Muhlenberg has battled through injuries in his high school career but has upside as a scholarship level guard who can score on or off the ball.
Lavonte Harris Lavonte Harris 6'6" | PF Pleasure Ridge Park | 2022 State KY , Louisville Storm – Harris is a big time stock riser in this class who is among the best “big wings” in the class. He can shoot it and drive it. If his motor is running all weekend, he can be a top player in the event.
Donovan Robinson Donovan Robinson 5'7" | PG Ryle | 2022 State KY , Louisville Legends – Donovan is an excellent shooter from the point guard spot and can score or set up his teammates. One of the best players in Northern Kentucky, Robinson is a player to look for this weekend.
