The 2024 Lex Open Run in Lexington on Saturday morning brought together elite basketball talent from across Kentucky, showcasing some of the state’s top high school players. The event provided players with a valuable opportunity to prepare for the upcoming season. With solid competition and a platform that attracted Kentucky college coaches and recruiters, the event was an important exposure opportunity for athletes looking to make an impact at the next level.
Standouts Include:
Bryan Station 6’6” F/C Brunley Fon
Possesses a solid body, with notable length, athleticism, and a high motor. It’s impressive to see his level of play, especially considering he’s only been playing basketball for just over a year. He is a disruptive force in the paint, displays unselfishness, and has the ability to finish around the rim. Look for him to have a standout year attracting a lot of college interest and offers.
Floyd Central 5’11” G Chris Spriggs
What sets his game apart was his relentless motor. He plays with quickness, crashes the boards effectively for a guard, and brings a feisty, competitive edge. Additionally, he’s unselfish with the ball and can knock down shots from beyond the arc, making him a versatile and impactful player on the floor. Definitely a college ball player that will attract many programs this season.
Hazard 6’3” G Daulton Combs
Has a solid college-ready frame, showcasing strength and defensive prowess. He is highly creative off the ball and possesses an excellent motor, consistently staying active on the court. His performance and potential have earned him an offer from Tennessee Wesleyan. Look for more to come.
George Rodgers Clark 6’2” G Eli Craig
Demonstrated his versatility by not only hitting shots from beyond the arc but also aggressively driving to the basket, showing no hesitation in embracing physical play. He currently holds an offer from Alice Lloyd, with more expected to come soon as his recruitment continues to heat up.
Bryan Station 5’11” G Rashaad Faulkner
Perhaps the most well-rounded talent in the group. He is a solid three-level scorer with the ability to create his own shots and plays with excellent pace, consistently avoiding unforced turnovers. His versatility and basketball IQ make him a valuable asset on the court. Solid college ball player that will make an impact wherever he lands.
