Malachi Moreno Malachi Moreno 6'11" | C Great Crossing | 2025 State #21 Nation KY , Great Crossing/Team Breakdown – The biggest post player in the 2025 class, Moreno is an excellent shot blocker on defense and finishes well around the rim. He typically runs with Indiana Elite’s 3SSB team but plays a couple of weekends every summer with Breakdown. Look for him to be a difference maker for them this weekend.
Sawyer Thompson Sawyer Thompson 6'2" | CG Pineville | 2025 State KY , Pineville/Griffin Elite Woods – The top scorer in the 2025 class this past season, Sawyer is a shifty guard who gets paint touches and is excellent at finishing through contact. If you were going to make a short list of top playmakers in the 15u division this weekend, Sawyer has to be on it.
Armelo Boone Armelo Boone 6'3" | SG Frederick Douglass | 2025 State KY , Frederick Douglass/Power Circle – Boone has the potential to be a top 5 player in this loaded 2025 class. He’s quick and tough and knows how to guard. On the offensive end, Melo is at his best attacking the rim and finishing or creating looks for teammates. There could be some great guard matchups this weekend and I hope to see Boone go head to head with several top playmakers in the event.
Cayden Reed Cayden Reed 5'9" | PG Mason County | 2025 KY , Bracken County/Power Circle – Reed is one of those guards that everyone wants to play with. He’s a more than willing passer and will be just as happy getting 10 assists as he would 15 points. Cayden is a good shooter when open but he’s at his best when he’s creating open looks for himself and teammates off the dribble.
Maddox Huff Maddox Huff 6'3" | PG Harlan County | 2025 State KY , Harlan County/Griffin Elite – One of the best shooters in the event, Huff is equally tough when attacking off of a ballscreen and getting downhill. Maddox can play on or off the ball and is dangerous any time he’s on the offensive end of the court.
Saxton Howard Saxton Howard 5'11" | PG Lexington Christian Academy | 2025 State KY , Lexington Christian/Team Breakdown – Another heady floor general, Saxton can create shots for his teammates in addition to being a good shooter both in the catch and shoot and off the dribble. He facilitates the offense for Breakdown a lot of the time and will have a chance to show he’s a top point guard in the class with a strong weekend.
