Scouting Report

“Kaden Magwood is a volume scorer. When he is locked in, he is capable of ringing off numerous baskets in a short span of time. He has a solid handle and an understanding of space and good footwork. He is capable of manufacturing himself a clean shooting look in many situations. The ball has a tendency to stop moving when it touches his hands. He is going to need to tighten up his shot selection. Defensively, he has some ability, but he oftentimes gets beat when he is disinterested on that end. When it comes to purely on the court, getting buckets, Magwood is very talented. He has deep shooting range and has solid twitch as an athlete.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
