#3 Dalyn Lewis (Xtreme Hoops 2025 5’8″)
Lefty that can light it up in a heart beat. Lewis is strong at driving it to the rim going left and loves to double clutch around the rim to finish. Dalyn does a good job of finishing through contact off of 2 feet to keep him on balance and makes him stronger. Lewis doesn’t shoot the 3 much but has a nice jumper that he should look use a little more.
#2 Lavar Duncan (Xtreme Hoops 2025 5’7″)
Lavar is a pest on the defensive end every minute he is in the game. He causes havoc by racking up steals around the half court area. Lavar does everything his team needs that doesn’t show up in the stat sheet on a nightly basis. From pick pocketing ball handlers, taking charges, being in the gap help as a help defender, you hate to see him on the other end as an opposing player or team.
#77 Rece Scott (RBC 2025 5’9″)
Scott does a phenomenal job at moving without the ball to make plays for himself and his teammates. Rece plays the passing lane really well to get in transition and does a great job of finishing the play even when defense recovers. He knows how to make plays to get his teammates open and is a great decoy for his teammates to score. Rece does it all for his RBC team and will be someone special to watch in this 2025 class if you like all around players.
#2 Beau Goodwin (Wolfpack 2025 5’10”)
Beau does a great job of slithering through the teeth of the defense when it looks like he has no way of getting out of a trap or splitting the gap help. Goodwin looks for his 3 ball when coming off the pick and roll and has shown he will shoot it in transition as well when his team has numbers. Beau has a different type of toughness to him, he was banged up all weekend and kept attacking the opposing team play after play. Goodwin plays strong and is relentless every possession following a shot no matter if its a miss or a make. Finding guards that can go crash the boards and get back to play defense is very rare and that’s something special about Beau.
#12 Eythan Thompson (Destined for Greatness 2025 6’2″)
Thompson plays post but he is slightly undersized height wise but makes up for it with his strength on the low block. He has shown how strong and tough he is when he is matched up against bigger centers. Eythan uses his body really well on box outs with his ability to go find a body and securing the rebound. Thompson doesn’t say much or show any emotion he just plays with a lot of heart and gets the job done. Whats most impressive is his ability to play without fouling when guarding anyone on the defensive end.
