KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI — CLASS OF 2031

When discussing the elite prospects in the Class of 2031, Amon Pickens has firmly placed himself near the very top. A 6’1 guard/wing with length, athleticism, and a polished all-around game, Amon is becoming one of the most complete two-way players in the country.

And the scary part?
He’s still getting better.

WHAT HE DID

40-Point Explosion at Pioneer Ridge

In a standout school performance, Amon delivered:

• 40 Points
• 7 Assists
• Dominant control of the game on both ends

It was a showcase of his scoring versatility and playmaking growth.

First Dunk at T3TV Camp — Against National Competition

At the 2025 T3TV Camp, facing some of the best talent in the country, Amon threw down his first in-game dunk, proving that the athletic leap is officially here.

This milestone moment was one of the major highlights of the camp.

WHY HE STANDS OUT

1. Size, Length, and Versatility

At 6’1 in the Class of 2031, Amon is already built like a high school guard.
His combination of height, wingspan, and physicality allows him to:

• Guard multiple positions
• Finish above or through defenders
• Play as a big guard or wing creator

He looks like a future matchup nightmare.

2. Elite Defensive Ability

Amon is one of the best defenders in the country for his age:

• Locks down primary scorers
• Disrupts passing lanes
• Blocks shots as a guard/wing
• Uses length to turn defense into offense

Defense is what separates him from most of the top scorers in his class.

3. Offensive Growth — Shot Creation + Court Vision

Amon’s offensive bag continues to grow rapidly:

• Strong downhill attacking
• Midrange shot creation
• Improved reads in pick-and-roll
• Ability to change pace and manipulate defenders
• 7 assists in a 40-point game shows his growth as a playmaker

He’s no longer just a scorer — he’s a complete offensive weapon.

4. Leadership Presence

Coaches and evaluators consistently praise:

• His communication
• His poise under pressure
• His ability to elevate teammates
• His maturity on and off the court

Amon leads with toughness and confidence — his role expands every season.

CURRENT RANKINGS

According to Top25Scouts 2031 National Rankings:

• #1 Player in Missouri
• #2 Player in the Nation

His trajectory continues to rise with every major event.

FUTURE PROJECTION

Amon projects as:

• A high-major recruit
• A future elite varsity two-way guard
• A potential top-5 national player long-term
• One of the best wings in the Midwest pipeline

His size, motor, and skill development give him one of the highest ceilings in the class.
