Rounding out the list with two youngsters to know, Jaden had a pair of impressive shooting displays for Lugoff-Elgin today. He knocked down 3 threes in game one against McBee and followed it up with a pair of them against Fairfield Central. The lefty is one of the best shooters in the rising sophomore class, but he also flashed some strong traits defensively and with crafty finishing at the rim in both games. The Blue Demons have a very young team, so expect some growing paints, but Thomas certainly has the potential to be a great player down the line.

Checking in right behind Reiser at #61 is Thomas. Jaden is one of two Lugoff-Elgin Blue Demons in the Prep Hoops South Carolina Class of 2029 Rankings, and they should be excited about the future of that group. Despite his age, Thomas has a good feel for when to catch and shoot or when to attack a closeout, plus he’s developing the ability to make his teammates better.

Rounding out the list is a new 2029 to know, Jaden Thomas Jaden Thomas 6'0" | PG/SG Lugoff-Elgin | 2029 State SC . Thomas is a confident scorer at all three levels, and for his age, he has a really good feel for playing around bodies and finishing off two feet in the paint. When Jaden gets hot, he can go for big numbers, as he had multiple 20-point games in Rock Hill this weekend.
