Little is set to make a leap in the next rankings update and will improve on his current spot within these positional rankings. It should be well-timed as he’s set to take on a bigger role with St. John’s (DC) in comparison to his sophomore year where the rotation depended heavily on upperclassmen. Little is tough from the point of attack at both ends of the floor. With the ball, he demands gravity from his defender thanks to a dependable outside shot, but also comes with underrated twitch and control within his pace to truly keep his man guessing. He manipulates with his speed and eyes to open up passing windows and has shown over the first two years of his high school career that he can be just as impactful playing next to a bigger, ball dominant guard if the lineup calls for it.

Super quick lefty. Next, made a lasting impression with his motor and toughness, KJ showed himself to be a smart, scrappy guard prospect with excellent energy and a very unselfish approach to the game. Little is a useful scorer, both from midrange and beyond the arc, with the ability to attack closeouts and finish around the basket.

-Little flashed his upside as a scoring PG that can create for himself at all 3 levels. The smooth lefty guard curled around a screen into a 3 off the baseline out of bounds set, hit a step-back 3 after coming flat off a ball screen, finished with the runout extension lay in transition, hit a spinning pull up 2 in the paint, and had a great drive and kick to the shooter to the near-side shooter. Little anticipated crossovers well on the night, poking out two high crossovers in front of his body while also ripping away another steal from a big from behind to get his team going in transition. Little’s C+S ability is one of the best in the class, but I want to start seeing more crosscourt passes or drives where he is looking to create an easy one for one of his bigs to reward them for rebounding/running the floor. If he continues to grow, the skillbase should carry him to a productive career.
