Texas Top 250 Expo 2025 Guards (Part 1/4)

<p>There was plenty of talent on display at the Prep Hoops Texas Top 250 Expo in Dallas. This is my in-depth analysis of each of the players in attendance. Be on the lookout for the rest of my top player’s list and my coverage of all the athletes.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1295839" first="Mason" last="Barnett"] 2025 5’7 Frisco High School</p> <p>Mason is a sniper when he has a chance to get his feet set. He has an elite one to two dribbles pull up he can get to. He was a great shooter all around the court. I was very impressed with his ability to control an offense and facilitate with the basketball. He displayed some impressive off-hand passes as well. He runs the floor well and knows when to pop out and get his feet set or attack the 3-2 break at the rim. He is a solid player on the defensive end as well, he can stay in front of defenders the length of the court.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1295915" first="Logan" last="Terrell"] 2025 6’0 Wylie High School</p> <p>Logan is great at getting to his spots in the midrange and beyond the arc. He is an elite shooter off the dribble. He is fearless when he has the ball and attacks the rim with a ferocity no matter who is in the paint. He is a great decision-maker on the fast break and created a plethora of easy looks when given the opportunity to run. I would like to see him work on adding a floater into his bag to shoot over taller defenders, so he does not have to play bully ball all the time.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1295857" first="Javon" last="Baker"] 2025 5’7 Desoto High School</p> <p>Javon has a high-level point guard who looks to have all the tools of a future leader of a program. He was vocal with and without the basketball, calling out switches and picks on both sides of the ball. He displayed supreme confidence; I was blown away when I found out he was a freshman. At times he can be a bit out of control and force bad looks, however this is expected with his age. I would like to see him work on his ability to control the tempo of the game, especially when he has the ball. Baker is one to keep your eye on for a future team leader and player in the next few years.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1295824" first="Ethan" last="Nguyen"] 2025 5’10 Wylie High School</p> <p>Ethan is a guard with great potential to succeed, he thrives at getting into the paint and drawing contact. He shot a plethora of free throws due to his ability to angle his body and get by defenders. He has a solid set jumper as well. On the defensive end of the floor, he is a great help defender and is scrappy when picking up guards the length of the court. I would like to see him work on his ability to control the tempo of the game and slow down and work to get to his shots.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1273340" first="Aiden" last="Hines"] 2025 5’11 Prosper High School</p> <p>Aiden is an intelligent guard who knows how to utilize space on the offensive side of the floor. He is great at moving without the ball and got easy looks by cutting to the rim and running the floor and spotting up. I was impressed with his ability to move the ball up the court and pick apart defenses in the full court. He displayed an impressive full court pass with one hand that hit his teammate in stride. I would like to see him work on his ability to shoot off the dribble and attack the rim with aggression.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
