Aiden Goode - 2025 NextGen Preview MVP
Congratulations to 2030 MVP of NEXTGen Preview, Aiden Goode. The hooper out of St. Francis made quite the impression on our HoopSeen staff throughout the day, here's what they had to say:
"Our Camp MVP was outstanding all day long. He mixed patience with aggressiveness, beating his man off the dribble and creating scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. His ability to finish with either hand, create space for his shot, and consistently make the right reads made him the most impactful player on the floor. His poise and maturity set him apart and made him an easy choice for MVP honors." - Mekhi Mckinney
"There’s good, there’s really good, then there’s Aiden Goode. From the moment the basketballs rolled out and sneakers hit the court, Goode seemed to separate himself from the pack. He has a twitchy handle attached to his great frame. He picks defenses apart, zipping passes across court, toying with defenders on the perimeter, and finishing with ease. He was coachable and seemed to pick up anything that was said on command. He possesses a consistent floater that is impressive at his age. It’s hard to say if he is a good shooter or not. Truthfully, he never settled… if he could beat you, he simply did. In skill-work however, I did notice he has good mechanics that may lead to something promising. Most kids his age just are not at his level, and his body and game remind me of former Shiloh guard, Zawdie Jackson." - AJ Cheeseman
"Aiden Goode is a High IQ Point guard that plays with an unusual amount of poise for his age. The lefty has a crafty handle that allows him to get to his spots and create plays for himself or others. He is a microwave that makes plays in bunches on both sides of the ball. He was able to slice up defenses with his slash and pass abilities and showed great decision making for a young guard. The jump shot is still streaky as to be expected from a young player, but he’s definitely a prospect to keep an eye on." - D’Marcus Simonds
