Rutledge is yet another BlueGrass playmaker, who only further proves just how rich this state is for talent on the hardwood. Reed is a tempo-controlling, game facilitator who possesses incredible court vision. He has elite handles and “team first” mentality. He has the ability to simply take over a game. He has a beautiful touch from downtown, and can shoot over bigger defenders. The kid is simply fearless, and a lockdown defender.
Last season Reed averaged 13.5 points, 9 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals per game. Now that he is entering high school, he wants to show the upperclassmen what he is capable of.
Playing AAU for Dhawk 2028, he worked very hard on all facets of his game. He watched a ton of game footage, and made all the necessary improvements. He is absolutely willing to put in the work and that is what matters the most. The kid just flat out loves to win.
What I really like about him is the way he handles himself when things aren’t going well during a game. He has short term memory, takes a deep breath, and is able to make the necessary adjustments. That is quite impressive considering he hasn’t even started high school yet! When asked what a coach can expect from him, he said “I am a floor general, a lockdown defender, a leader by example, and I will never back down to any opponent.”
His dream is to play D1, and my personal assessment is with his intense work ethic and passion, as well as being a natural leader, I can absolutely see that happening. High School….loading!
