#75: 5’9 ’25 Kenneth “Buddy” Bartlett (West Forsyth)
Moving onto a player who has all the makings of a potential breakout prospect, Kenneth “Buddy” Bartlett. He’s a smart, quick, crafty point guard prospect with an excellent balance between playmaking and three-level scoring. Bartlett is a capable shooter, but at his best when getting downhill and making plays with the ball in his hands. He passes the ball at a high level, but also finishes really well for his size. Bartlett utilizes his blend of quickness, motor, and overall instincts to overwhelm opposing defenders. He’s great in the open floor, both with and without the ball in his hands. Next in his development process is working to get stronger, as it would make him even more difficult for opponents to contain. Coach Palmore on Bartlett: “Buddy is a really good, crafty guard. He’s tough with the ability to get to his spots consistently. He has the ability to change the game. Good player. Loves to compete. Huge upside.” Bartlett proved to be among the top players on display, and should be a name for college coaches to start tracking immediately—as he should certainly end up at the next level. Jeff bendel on Bartlett: 5’9 ‘25 Buddy Bartlett (West Forsyth) is smart, quick, and heady. Balanced floor general with sharp vision, a tight handle, and the ability to make an impact without the ball. Touches the paint at a high volume. Seems poised to have a breakout season. Tyler Lewis on bartlett: 2025 Kenneth Bartlett @kbjr109 (#NCPhenom150) scrappy, paint touch pg. really good on ball defender. Turns defense to offense. Excels in transition.

His backcourt mate, Kenneth “Buddy” Bartlett, should also be a major difference-maker for this group. He offers another quick, heady, dynamic presence from the guard position. Bartlett is a useful floor general who can interchangeably swap ball-handling and creation duties with Brim. That being said, he’s also a great penetrator who can touch the paint at a high volume, make the proper reads as a playmaker, and finish as needed around the basket. Bartlett can also knock down jumpers at a nice percentage, and is capable of mirroring his assignment defensively. His speedy nature also makes him a problem for opponents in transition. Bartlett is only a sophomore, so it’ll be exciting to watch this pairing blossom over the next three seasons. Expect this group to capture their first winning record in five seasons and restore the Titans back to their former glory.
