Continue ReadingThe season is nearly a month in at this point and some freshmen are already putting up big numbers across the commonwealth. Here’s a look at some of the state’s top freshmen thus far.
Julius Edmonds Julius Edmonds 6'6" | SF Trinity | 2025 State #253 Nation KY , Western – Edmonds is one of the best freshmen in the state with huge long term upside as a 3/4 that can score the ball all over and has a great nose for the ball as a rebounder. He’s averaging 12 points and 7 rebounds per game on a loaded Warrior roster where he’s making the most of his scoring opportunities.
Kaden Magwood Kaden Magwood 6'3" | CG Western | 2025 WV , Western – Magwood joins his teammate Edmonds on the short list of best college prospects in the 25 class. He’s shooting at a high clip from three and nearly 50% from the field. He’s highly skilled and will take his game to the next level when he starts getting to the free throw line more.
Zander Carter Zander Carter 6'6" | SG Ashland Blazer | 2025 State #296 Nation KY , Ashland – Zander is another player who will elevate his game once he starts getting to the free throw line more. As it stands, 2/3 of his shots have been threes this season. He’s making the most of his role as a catch and shoot wing and should see his role increase over the next few seasons.
Andersen Green Andersen Green 6'3" | SG Lexington Christian | 2025 State KY , LCA – Andersen off to a hot start this season where he is second on the team in scoring at 12.4 per game and shooting 48-46-80. Green’s game has evolved over the last year where he was more of a bully guard and now he’s scoring the ball well all over the court.
Cooper Davenport Cooper Davenport 5'11" | CG Henderson County | 2025 State KY , Henderson County – Davenport is off to a great start to his season and has to be on the short list of best shooters in the class as he’s putting up shooting splits of 50-48-100 through the first part of the season. As he keeps adding bulk to his frame Cooper should be more comfortable putting his head down and attacking the rim.
Junius Burrell Junius Burrell 5'8" | PG Great Crossing | 2025 State KY , Great Crossing – The shifty guard from Georgetown is tough with the ball in his hands and capable of being a knockdown shooter when he plays off the ball for the WarHawks.
Jaden Stewart Jaden Stewart 6'5" | PF Pike Central | 2025 State KY , Pike County Central – Jaden is a big bodied post with the ability to stretch the floor with some shooting. He’s an above average ball handler for his position and could eventually end up as a big wing that can initiate some offense as his skills keep developing.
Chance Dillingham Chance Dillingham 5'9" | PG St. Xavier | 2025 State KY , St. Xavier – Dillingham is small but plays with a high skill level and toughness. He was thrust into the starting lineup early since St. X made a run to a state title in football and that experience is serving him well as he continues making an impact for the Tigers this year and beyond.
