Continue ReadingWith their 16u AAU seasons winding down and their Junior seasons coming up this winter, the 2024 class is taking shape as some kids have moved way up with this update. Here’s a look at the top point guards in the updated 2024 rankings. This does not include players who cracked the top 10 rankings for the class.
Blake Reed Blake Reed 5'10" | PG Mason County | 2024 KY , Bracken County – One of the best scorers in the state, Reed is on track to break the current KHSAA career scoring record. Blake is able to get downhill and finish through contact thanks to a strong and compact frame. He’s also an above average three point shooter so he can keep defenses honest when trying to hone in on him. Definitely a scholarship player at the next level.
Quel’ron House Quel’ron House 5'11" | PG Seneca | 2024 State KY , Ballard – House has quickly become one of my favorite players to watch in the class because of his lightning quick speed. Quel’ron has a tight handle and can get paint touches regularly. He’s got a little bit of a way to go as a shooter but his shot isn’t bad. Add to the fact that he’s athletic and strong enough to guard multiple positions and he’s got the recipe to go to college for free.
Kyran Tilley Kyran Tilley 6'1" | PG Evangel Christian | 2024 State KY , Evangel Christian – Kyran is very highly skilled and keeps getting stronger every time I get eyes on him. Tilley has a quick first step and is a willing passer who can also finish at the rim or from distance. Perhaps his best asset is that he is an absolutely tenacious on ball defender. Tilley is capable of locking up the opposing point guard at any given time and takes pride on that side of the ball.
Julian Bunton, DeSales – Potential for Bunton is off the charts if he reaches his ceiling. He’s a long and athletic point who excels with pick and roll reads. His jump shot needs to continue improving as his game evolves but Julian has all the tools to be a D1 recruit down the line. He’s definitely one to keep an eye on over the next year as he settles in at DeSales.
Jaylan Rigdon Jaylan Rigdon 6'0" | PG Pike County Central | 2024 State KY , Pike County Central – Rigdon is one of the best scorers in the mountains and has shown this AAU season that he can be just as much of a facilitator as a scorer. Jaylan has good size at the point and will benefit from hitting the weights before his Junior season starts. Look for him to be in the mix for regional player of the year this upcoming season.
