Landon Kidd (6’0/Wing/’25/KY Future Elite ’25)
Twitter: @Landon_Kidd07
Landon is a heady playmaker that contributes with his scoring, passing, and reliable ball-handling. He can create his offense with the ball in his hands out on the perimeter, and he is a gifted one-on-one scorer that finishes well in the paint. He was very efficient in the games I saw him in, and he avoided turnovers making his time on the court a good plus/minus. He has good court vision and court awareness and showed excellent passing ability getting his teammates the rock. One thing I really liked about Landon was his use of the shot fake to get open and to get his shot.

TJ had an outstanding two days scoring the rock. He scored it from all levels, scored in the open court and the half-court, scored by creating his own and scored by being the recipient of drive and kicks and drive and dishes. His productivity and efficiency as a scorer were easily seen. TJ can bully his way through bigs and has the ball skills necessary to create new angles for himself off the bounce. He is very versatile in his scoring and is a tough match-up due to his size and versatility. At the same time, he is a match-up nightmare for many of the guards that were at this particular event.
Mason Dover (5’9/CG/’25/Stars Basketball Club North ’25)
Mason showed throughout the two-day event his creative ability off the bounce. He showed he could get his own and set up his teammates for easy scoring opportunities. He is a very skilled player that is shifty with his handles and crafty with his finishes. He is a trustworthy backcourt player that takes care of the rock and, at other times, can provide much-needed scoring. His vision and passing skills make teammates better. His creative ability off the bounce keeps his team in balance and functioning in a highly efficient zone. He raises the level of play for his squad when he is on the floor.

Jaden is a small guard that showed his ability to score the rock off the bounce. He is absolutely tenacious off the bounce, as he keeps pressure on defenders every time he has the rock in his hands. He has a quick first step and often hit the defender with a hesi move keeping him off balance. He is a multi-level scorer that produces in a variety of ways, especially below the three-point line. It’s a relief to have one player on the court who always knows what’s going on and what the team needs on any given possession, and Jaden is a player that provides that awareness.

Matthew is a very athletic frontcourt player that made his presence felt on the glass and with his post defense. He is a high flyer that finishes well around the rim. I would like to see him ramp up his aggressiveness because there were very few that could match him in athleticism. He is quick off the floor and really makes his presence felt in the paint. He did not show a polished low-block game, but he is a key piece to have to hang around in the paint waiting for drop-offs, lobs, and put-backs off the offensive glass. He thrives in space as he can fly around and make plays. He has to continue in the lab working on his offensive tools in the paint and on the perimeter.
Marcus Goodloe (5’10/PG/’26/One Dream Elite ’26)

Marcus is the head of the One Dream Elite squad and is a solid lead guard that knows how to get his teammates touches. He really does not have to do much outside of orchestrating because he is surrounded by some very high-level scorers. He does a good job setting the table for others and knocking down open looks when they are presented. He can play either guard spot and is a solid defender. He is very calm at the lead guard spot and not only plays at a nice pace but keeps his team in a nice rhythm.
