Electric is the only way to start this. Aiden is a dynamic combo guard who brings real juice to the floor with bounce, athleticism, and a fearless scoring mentality. He brings the rain from deep, explodes off the bounce, and plays with a physical edge that shows up on both ends. His handles are tight and creative, his vision allows him to drop sweet dimes in traffic, and he never shies away from mixing it up on the boards. On defense, he brings heat, competing on every possession and embracing tough assignments, making him a fierce two-way gem who impacts winning in multiple ways.

He is shooting around 40% from three and 55% from the field, while most teams have been forced to throw box and one coverage at him all season. Even with that level of attention, he is averaging right at 15 points and 5 rebounds per game, consistently finding ways to affect the game beyond scoring. Aiden has been on a serious tear lately, putting together one big performance after another while carrying a heavy load and commanding defensive attention. Over some of his recent runs, he had games of 23 points and 6 rebounds, followed by back-to-back 25-point nights, including a dominant showing with 6 rebounds and 6 steals that highlighted his scoring punch and defensive edge. He plays primarily at the shooting guard spot but can slide into the point guard role when needed, using his strength with the ball and feel for the game to keep the offense steady.

He is a true three-level scorer who thrives coming off screens, cuts hard to the basket, and finishes through contact. His size and strength allow him to defend every position on the floor, and his versatility shows up in how willingly he takes on different roles based on what the team needs. His biggest improvement has been his middy and ball handling, areas that now allow him to control pace and create quality looks when defenses take away the obvious options.

Adversity has shaped his approach. Tearing his ACL forced Aiden to slow down, lock in on fundamentals, and truly study the game. That moment reshaped how he trains and prepares. During rehab, he added 15 to 20 pounds of muscle and committed fully to becoming stronger in every way. The process built discipline, patience, and a deeper understanding of details that now show up in his composure and consistency.

Competition fuels him. Being underestimated lights a fire and pushes him to prove just how much work has gone into his game. His fiercest rival is Harriman, and those matchups bring out his edge and intensity. Coaches can expect effort and composure every time he steps on the floor, no matter the role or moment. Looking ahead, he is focused on helping his team compete at a high level next season while continuing to grow into a more confident floor general.

Before high school, Aiden played for Pro One TN 2028 and helped win the Silver Division at the UA Future Finals. Entering high school, he stepped into an important basketball role while also playing football, earning the starting quarterback job as a freshman before the ACL injury six games in. That setback strengthened him. Coaches noticed how he attacked adversity head-on and came back better, more disciplined, and more driven. Off the court, he enjoys spending time with friends and family, staying grounded while chasing bigger goals.

Aiden wants the opportunity to play college basketball. There are no offers or interest yet, but the hunger is there, and the work continues to stack.

I assess that Aiden’s size, versatility, and two-way impact translate well to the college level. His ability to score efficiently under heavy defensive attention, defend multiple positions, and contribute on the glass gives him value in programs that demand toughness, composure, and accountability.

Moving forward, expect continued growth as a guard who can score, initiate offense when needed, and stay steady in big moments. As his ball-handling and command of the point guard role continue to improve, his overall impact grows. With his mindset, physical development, and commitment to the grind, his best basketball is still ahead. Stay tuned.
