Kaiden is a relentless force on the floor, a dynamic offensive weapon who makes defenders uncomfortable the moment he crosses half-court. He’s electric with the ball in his hands, quick, explosive, and impossible to relax against. With a crafty handle, an elite shooting touch, and a fierce tenacity that keeps defenses guessing. He must be guarded tightly at all three levels because once he finds rhythm, it’s over. Kaiden’s smooth pull-up from beyond the arc makes him a constant deep-range threat, but he can blow by defenders with explosive bursts and f crafty finishes, making him dangerous in every zone. Defensively, he reads plays with a sharp eye, jumping passing lanes and making timely plays. His high game IQ and ability to consistently make the right reads make him a valuable two-way presence who can score in bunches and set the tone on both ends.

This past season, Kaiden averaged points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, shooting a scorching 56.8% inside the arc and a strong 38.7% from deep. With nearly 500 total points on the year, he put his scoring swagger on full display. His biggest improvement was his physical growth, his athleticism and vertical have seen noticeable increases, making him quicker and more explosive. His three-point consistency and defensive energy have also taken a leap, making him harder to match up nightmare on both ends of thecourt. This offseason, he’s locked in on improving his rebounding and playmaking, which are the two areas he’s determined to elevate. He’s also continuing to expand his shooting range and quickness, working to become unguardable from anywhere on the floor. His motivation is fueled by his sophomore year transition of adjusting to the speed and pressure of high school ball and growing from every moment. Team camps and a taste of the state tournament sparked a fire in him that hasn't gone out.

Although Kaiden hasn’t locked into a specific AAU squad yet, he plans to compete in local Arkansas tournaments this season. His goal is to become better in every aspect of the game. This spring and summer are all about raising the ceiling and testing himself in new situations. While no individual tournament stands out just yet, the idea of continued growth and new challenges is what excites him most. He’s chasing development, not comfort, and looks forward to building a resume that commands attention. His sights are set on a return to the state tournament, not just to compete but to dominate.

Kaiden thrives in that loud, passionate atmosphere that fuels his game. It’s the rush of the crowd, the energy of his teammates, and the heat of competition that unlocks his most unstoppable gear. He recalls a game against Perryville where he poured in 34 points, raining threes and finishing at will. That night, he felt unstoppable, like everything he touched turned to buckets. But even when facing adversity, Kaiden stays locked in. He doesn’t rattle. He assesses, adjusts, and leads. His mindset is built on discipline and constant motion. The best advice he’s ever received is "give it 110% no matter the mistake, and always remain coachable. Because being coachable means you can thrive in any system".Kaiden plans to do exactly that.

I assess that Kaiden is an electric scoring guard with a deep offensive bag and an ever-evolving game. His shooting touch, speed, and game awareness make him an immediate problem for defenders. Combine that with his discipline, coachability, and growing leadership, and you’ve got a player who elevates the game around him.

Colleges searching for a dynamic guard with range, grit, and a high ceiling need to look Kaiden’s way. His three-level scoring, improved athleticism, and playmaking instincts are the kind of tools that can thrive at the next level.

Expect a big leap in production and confidence as he grows stronger, faster, and even more dangerous. His potential is sky-high. With a clear mission of chasing a state championship, hungry, driven, and focused, hus is a show you don't want to miss.
