Kamden is a catch-and-shoot sniper with electric range and a growing arsenal. A natural floor spacer with a silky touch from deep, Kamden thrives as a knockdown shooter who can swing the energy of a game in an instant. Though shooting is his calling card, there’s much more to his game than just letting it fly, he's a true triple-threat scoring option in development. As he’s gained confidence and more time on the floor, his impact has expanded. He rebounds with grit, defends with pride, and has begun to show promise as a secondary creator, attacking closeouts and creating off the bounce. With more reps, Kamden could be special, his foundation is set, and his work ethic is pushing his ceiling higher by the week.

His freshman season at Grayson County was quiet on paper, with 1.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game, but he didn’t see many minutes. That changed in the summer. At Western Camp, he averaged 8.5 points per game and carried that momentum into AAU play with WKY Basketball Club NXTpro. His development jumped off the page with a 24-point performance at Spooky Nook in Ohio, draining six threes and adding five rebounds in a statement outing. He’s posted consistent scoring efforts with multiple games with 11+ points that included multiple triples. Kamden has worked tirelessly to improve his defense and rebounding, and it’s showing. His biggest improvements have come in his toughness on the glass and ability to hold his own on the defensive end, areas that now complement his elite spot-up shooting. His next goal: become a reliable off-the-dribble shot creator and elevate his defensive footwork to the next level.

This upcoming high school season, Kamden’s aiming high. He’s determined to help lead Grayson County to a district and regional title. What fires him up most is playing alongside his teammates with energy and watching the crowd explode during big moments, those are the moments he lives for. And when facing adversity, he resets, keeps his cool, and sticks to his game. He knows who he is and where he’s going. The best advice he’s received is, “Have fun playing the game you love.”

Off the court, Kamden is all about family and quality time. Whether it’s hanging out with friends or enjoying peaceful moments at home, he stays grounded in the people who’ve helped him grow. That balance keeps him centered and focused as he chases a breakout season.

Kamden’s combination of size, shooting touch, and self-awareness makes him a promising prospect with clear potential. His rapid improvement since the school season shows how committed he is to growing in all areas. As a floor spacer who’s adding more tools off the dribble and on defense, he’s quietly turning into a complete guard who can thrive in modern systems that value shot-making and versatility.

Expect Kamden’s stock to keep rising. With more playing time, his confidence and rhythm will only increase, and when that happens, his production could take a big leap. He’s the kind of player who catches fire and changes the game, and now, with a better-rounded skill set, he’s moving closer to becoming a reliable all-around contributor. The foundation is strong, the direction is clear, and the breakout is coming. Stay tuned.
