LaDavian King LaDavian King 6'1" | CG Eaglecrest | 2025 State CO – Eaglecrest
King will undoubtably be one of the top players in the 2025 class and up there with the craftiest shot creators in the state. At roughly 6′, King is dependable leveraging space off the bounce going either direction. The guard is adept at keeping his center of gravity low enough to create just enough space versus bigger opponents. King has shown growth in his timing as a driver, proving to be more patient on attempts within the paint. So far through a couple games, King has posted 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals, and 2 assists while opening up 55% from the floor. The future is bright for the fourth overall prospect in our 2025 class.
Jackson Weber Jackson Weber 6'3" | SG Palmer | 2025 State CO – Palmer
The sophomore guard has all the tools you need in a big time playmaker. The Colorado Springs sophomore has lept into Palmer’s rotation as a steady presence within the halfcourt. His jumper is already potent off the bounce, possessing an especially high release on the shot. Weber already has confidence handling it too, keeping his eyes up off the dribble. Weber can get to his spots going either direction, although he still heavily benefits from on-ball screens to leverage space. Through the upcoming years, Weber should be an elite guard down in the Springs area. This season, he is posting 13 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4 assists per game.
Hunter Roark Hunter Roark 6'3" | PG Stargate | 2025 State CO – Stargate
Roark has immediately started the season with an emphasis on the defensive end. The 6’1 guard is consistent off the ball, constantly having his head on a swivel to attack passing lanes. On the offensive side, Roark stayed poised getting into the paint. He was adept drawing fouls or making kick out passes to shooters. So far this seaon the guard has posted 14.5 points, 5 rebounds, 4.5 steals, and 2 blocks per game while contributing 63% of his two point attempts. The sophomore will be a key player for 3A Stargate, although their schedule will significantly ramp up through late January, namely Colorado Academy and Faith Christian. Although already a crucial component for Stargate’s perimeter defense, Roark still has room to grow on offense, notably with the jump shot.
Kasen Lehman – Rock Canyon
The sophomore guard has lept into Rock Canyon’s rotation through his overall consistency on both ends. The complementary guard is an excellent fit next to their playmakers, knocking down 45% of his three point attempts. At 6’3, Lehman is adept shooting over contests with confidence. There are not many sophomore guards at the 6A level who bring his composure when needed. Another aspect of Lehman’s impact has come on the defensive end, where his size lets him legitimately defend both backcourt positions. So far this season Lehman has contributed 8.8 points per game on notable efficiency.
