15U Top Scoring Guard Performances
Carter Parsons Carter Parsons 6'0" | PG Betsy Layne | 2026 State KY | 6’0” | Vision 2026 Elite | Betsy Lane (Kentucky)
Parsons showcased his full repertoire of assets this weekend. Playing every game at the varsity level as a freshman in a tough 15th Region, Parsons was second on his team in 3-point makes. But, he can do a lot more than shoot. He can put the ball on the deck and make the teardrop floater. He also displayed the ability to consistently post up a smaller defender and use his elite footwork to maneuver for an easy lay-in. There is a lot to like about Parsons’ game.
Jackson Mccutcheon | 5’9” | Shockers 2026 | (Tennessee)
Mccutcheon is as steady as they come. He routinely makes the right play and seems to always be in the right spot on the court. He has a great feel for the game when the ball is in his hands. Mccutcheon was invaluable leading his team to 4 wins.
Adam Marcum | 6’3” | Vision Select 2026 | Southwestern (Kentucky)
Marcum plays big which gives him an advantage anywhere on the court. He isn’t shy about bombing in 3s but found success driving to the paint too. He is a steady guard that doesn’t over-dribble and isn’t a ball-stopper. Marcum should have no problem averaging in double-digits for Vision Select. If he can get hot, expect him to have a few games where he puts up 30+.
Latrell Morton | 5’9” | DNA Basketball INDY 2026 | Pike High School (Indiana)
Morton is a drive-first guard that uses ball fakes to manipulate the defenders. Although he is comfortable shooting from deep, he can penetrate the paint and slither around the defense better than most. DNA Indy plays a lot of guard lineups so look for Morton to expand his game and earn more minutes on the floor.
Christian Thompson Christian Thompson 5'8" | PG Battle Ground Academy | 2026 State TN | 5’7” | THE MOVEMENT – ONYX | Battle Ground Academy (Tennessee)
Mr. Beat-Your-Press-Break, Thompson can dissect all your defensive schemes. He pushes the ball downhill and makes athletic and crafty plays around the rim. The defense will believe they can guard him up tight but Thompson uses his elusiveness to get separation and then drop in the floater. Once the defense starts to back up on their heels, he has a quick pull-up jump shot that is very effective.
