Michigan State
Scout Report
The 46th-ranked point guard in the nation has already secured his future, leading one of the most talented prep squads in the country.
Background
Carlos Medlock Jr. hails from Wayne, Michigan, where his basketball journey began before making the move to Link Academy to elevate his game on the national stage. The 5-11 floor general chose the prep powerhouse to compete against elite competition and develop alongside some of the top prospects in his class. His commitment to Michigan State keeps him close to home while joining a program known for developing tough, intelligent point guards.
Playing Style
Medlock Jr. operates as a true floor general with excellent court vision and the basketball IQ to make plays for his teammates in high-level situations. At 5-11, he maximizes his frame with solid fundamentals and smart decision-making, rarely forcing bad shots or turning the ball over in crucial moments. His ability to run an offense alongside elite talent at Link Academy demonstrates his unselfish nature and understanding of when to facilitate versus when to be aggressive. While not the most explosive athlete, his steady hand and leadership qualities make him a reliable presence in the backcourt.
Recruitment
With 12 D1 offers from programs like Michigan, Iowa, and Oklahoma State, Medlock Jr. had plenty of options before ultimately committing to Michigan State. His ceiling projects as a solid Big Ten contributor who can manage an offense and make winning plays at the college level. The Spartans landed a point guard who understands his role and brings the intangibles that translate well to Tom Izzo's system.
