Much like Lindemann, Kellen Crim Kellen Crim 5'9" | PG/CG IN was excellent in June for his high school team and it had translated to July with the Midwest Stars Midwest Stars 5'11" | SG IN 17u. Smaller guard that’s capable of playing either guard spot. Has a knack for making the right basketball play. Quick first step allows him to get two feet in the paint where he utilizes his floater or can dish to open. Deadeye shooter off the catch that can get hot in a hurry. Really good off the ball relocating and getting himself open into his shot.

He is a true point guard and a talented shot creator. Crim is an excellent shooter when coming off screens. He is knockdown from the perimeter. Kellen embraces the competitive nature of the game. He is a tough defender who never backs down. Crim plays at a quick pace, a high motor, and is a bright baller. He is also a willing passer who looks to set up teammates/

Just like most of the Midwest Stars Midwest Stars 5'11" | SG IN roster, Crim is admittedly not the most physically imposing prospect you will see in the gym. However, just like his team, his skill level carries him to a high level. The Midwest Stars Midwest Stars 5'11" | SG IN went 3-1 against some of the best competition at the Havoc in the Heartland and Crim was the leader in the scoring column in many of those games. His three-point shooting ability really puts pressure on opposing defenses.

I have seen Crim a few times up to this point and one thing I will always like about him is how tough he plays, even with his smaller size. A player that is comfortable with the ball in his hands, Crim can make plays and is a really good shooter with space. He is just very productive for Midwest Stars Midwest Stars 5'11" | SG IN 16u.

Always one of the best shooters in the gym, Crim really turned it on and got hot in the second half as he propelled the Midwest Stars Midwest Stars 5'11" | SG IN 16u to a convincing victory over Legacy Ice Elite – Jakes 16u. The Morristown High School guard connected on four three-point shots in the second half alone on the way to scoring a game-high 18 points.

We’ve had a chance to get eyes on Crim several times now. He came in from day one and led Morristown High School in scoring as a freshman. Then, he was a consistent standout at Prep Hoops Circuit events this summer with the Midwest Stars 2027 quad. Finally, at the Prep Hoops Indiana Sophomore ID Camp the sharpshooting guard knocked in several jump shots and sliced his way to the basket for some creative finishes. Crim has some legitimate scoring chops.

Morristown High School struggled this past season, but there still aren’t many freshmen in the state of Indiana that stepped in right away and led the varsity team in scoring.
