Four-Star 2024 PG Labaron Philon Names UC in Top-Eight Schools
CINCINNATI — Cincinnati is well in the mix for the top-rated 2024 basketball player in Alabama.
Four-star point guard Labaron Philon out of Baker (Alabama) put UC in his top-eight schools.
UC joins Alabama, Michigan, Arkansas, Auburn, Kansas, Ole Miss, and Tennessee in his latest grouping.
According to 247Sports Composite, Philon is the 39th-ranked player nationally and the sixth-ranked point guard. ESPN has him ranked 36th overall. On3 has Auburn as a 77.3% favorite to land the talent.
The 2021 Alabama Class 7A Player of the Year is averaging 21 points per game, 4.7 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.4 steals, and 0.3 blocks across 60 career outings.
Pull-up precision.
The 6-foot-4, 170-pound weapon brings plenty of that to the table for the Baker Hornets. Philon is a talented half-court maestro that uses a strong crossover to create space whenever he needs it. The finishing skills are all there around the rim, whether it is with his strong hand or not.
Shooting-wise, Philon has a compact stroke that he deploys from the midrange and on the outside via catch-and-shoot opportunities. Add in a heady steal acumen on defense that he turns into fast breaks and it's not hard to see why Philon is the top 2024 player in Alabama.
