Friday 2024-26 standouts at KABC Titans Shootout

<p>Friday night was full of intense action at the KABC Shootout in Shelbyville, Kentucky and this article will feature the 2024-2026 standouts that I scouted.</p> <p>Dayton Williams, 6’5 PF Louisville Butler (KY) 2024: Williams was the most intriguing prospect in Butler’s win over Cincinnati Hughes as Williams had the highlight play of the game with a poster slam with his left hand. Williams played hard and attacked every ball off the rim including two putback layups that helped extend Butler’s lead in the second half. Williams also had a little wiggle with the ball in his hands and has some definite upside as a creator if he continues to make offensive strides.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1359140" first="Cole" last="Edelen"], 5’10 PG Louisville Male (KY) 2026: Edelen is a very poised guard for his age as I was impressed with his feel for the game and comfort with the ball in his hands. Running with his older brother Jack on a talented Male squad, I enjoyed watching Cole dice up the defense with passes that were crisp and always in the shooters pocket.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1238512" first="Keven" last="Adorno"], 5’10 PG Princeton (OH) 2024: Adorno was the best player in the entire game as Princeton advanced to the sweet 16 of the 64 team bracket. Adorno is an aware off ball defender who drew multiple charges in their wins today. Adorno shot the ball at a high percentage from the outside and was making the right read with the ball in his hands. I’m a big fan of what Adorno brings to a Princeton squad that will be fighting in a loaded GMC next season.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1252217" first="Kaden" last="Magwood"], 6’1 PG Louisville Western (KY) 2025: Magwood is a special shot-creator for a 2025 lead guard and his scoring talents were on full display early in Western’s win over North Laurel. Magwood doesn’t need much space to fire and can shoot off the bounce with his impressive touch and rotation. Western’s 2025 class is loaded and they are one of the most talented teams in Kentucky and Magwood shines above the rest in my eyes.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1258402" first="Drae" last="Vasser"], 6’1 CG Louisville Trinity (KY) 2024: Vasser was a tough point guard who got it done on both ends for Trinity in their 2-0 evening. Vasser was attacking the rim and finishing off one-foot, two-feet, left-handed and right-handed during a personal 8-0 run he made to give his team some early cushion. I liked Vasser’s defensive activity with his hands and he also answered my final question with a pull-up 3-pointer after the defense didn’t contest out of a pick-and-roll.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1301705" first="Alexander" last="Lloyd"], 6’3 SG Westminster Academy (FL) 2025: The highest upside prospect that this article features, Lloyd was a problem for opposing squads on Friday night. Lloyd is a great shot-maker off the bounce and has good positional size to play the off guard role. Lloyd is very naturally talented as it took me less than five minutes of game time to recognize he was a big time talent. Lloyd already has an offer from Florida State and appeared in ESPN’s initial top 25 rankings in the class of 2025.</p>
