Ludington makes the Watch List for the same reason that he was on our radar earlier this month. For his ability to create off the bounce. He’s a player who plays with solid pace, he looks comfortable attacking defenders and forcing the double teams, and he navigates in traffic. That stands out for a young guard trying to get it all together. I like how it looks when he has the ball in his hands, and that opens up the rest of his game and makes it easier for teammates. He’s a player to certain watch moving forward. 

Ludington showcased a strong ability to create offense off the dribble, consistently putting pressure on defenders and attacking the paint. His handle allowed him to navigate through traffic and get into scoring positions, where he showed confidence finishing at the rim. What stood out most was his willingness to absorb contact and still complete plays, demonstrating both toughness and body control. Ludington’s ability to break down defenders and generate offense made him a key contributor throughout the event. As he continues to develop his overall game, adding consistency to his perimeter shooting could elevate his impact even further but his ability to create and finish already makes him a name to monitor.
