Top 2024 PG’s part 1

Our first positional breakdown of the class of 2024 is at the point guard position. We’ll continue to go through each and every position in this class, getting our readers educated about the top prospects in the 2024 class that we’ve evaluated so far.

Jacob Theodosiou Jacob Theodosiou 6'4" | PG Western Reserve Academy | 2024 State #146 Nation OH , 6’3 PG Western Reserve Academy 2024: Prep Hoops typically doesn’t rank international prospects that transfer to prep programs, but Theodosiou came to Ohio before his Freshman season, giving us enough time to evaluate him against other Ohio prospects. I was very impressed with the patience that Theodosiou plays with, he has a maturity that’s beyond his age. Theodosiou is also one of the better shooters in this class, shooting above 50% on 3-pointers for Team Canada 16U this summer. I’m excited to continue to monitor the development of Theodosiou and see how he compares to other Ohio prospects.

Calvin Little Calvin Little 6'2" | PG Garfield Heights | 2024 State OH , 6’2 PG Saint Ignatius 2024: Little and Theodosiou are polar opposites at the PG position, so depending on your preference at the position will probably determine which prospect you like more. Little is a special athlete with ridiculous stop and go burst with the ball in his hands. Little looked right at home in the EYBL, playing at a fast pace and getting up and down the court. Little’s biggest weakness right now is his outside shot, Little isn’t a threat to hurt you from the outside right now. Depending on how Little develops his jumper will likely determine a lot about his potential to be recruited by the biggest schools in the country.

Cade Norris Cade Norris 6'3" | PG Hilliard Bradley | 2024 State OH , 6’2 PG Hilliard Bradley 2024: Norris is one of the strangest prospects I’ve evaluated at a young age, due to his incredibly unique play style. I basically listed him as a PF for Hilliard Bradley as a freshman because he really looked to score around the block and be physical on the interior. Norris then played some point guard for the Pumas this summer and was the primary ball-handler for Bradley this summer when I watched them. Norris is a coaches son and has seen his older brothers progress through high school, I wonder how much that’ll benefit Cade as he gets older. Right now, Norris is one of the most impactful players in the state for his age, it’s just a question of how Norris projects at the next level, which I’m still trying to figure out how he fits. Very excited to see how Norris develops these next three seasons.

Ace Buckner Ace Buckner 6'1" | PG Saint Ignatius | 2024 State #200 Nation OH , 6’1 PG Saint Ignatius 2024: Buckner played his freshman season at Independence but transferred to Saint Ignatius for his Sophomore season. Pairing him with Calvin Little Calvin Little 6'2" | PG Garfield Heights | 2024 State OH will be one of the best lead guard duos in the next couple years. Buckner showed he could do a variety of things with All Ohio Red this summer, playing tough defense and playing his role well. Buckner can made shots from the outside and is a capable lead guard when Little was on the bench.

Keven Adorno Keven Adorno 5'10" | PG Princeton | 2023 State OH , 5’9 PG Dohn Prep 2024: Adorno really popped when I watched him for C2K, as he was one of the most skilled guards I’ve seen in the 2024 class. Adorno can shoot it from distance but his best skill is passing in the pick and roll. Adorno is very quick (a necessity at his height) and can get to the paint when he wants. Adorno has certainly learned how to play as one of the smallest players on the court, judging by his ability to score around the basket with creative finishes. I really think Adorno has a chance to be one of the best offensive guards in this class, I want to see how his body and defense develops in the future.
