We dive into the positional rankings. We now look at some sleepers for the rising junior class.
Here are the 7 Sleepers in the 2025 class:
Zaire Richardson Zaire Richardson 5'11" | CG San Tan Charter | 2025 State AZ San Tan Charter
A growing guard can score it more from all levels. He has always been quick and fast and now is bringing more skill to the court. He will still blow by his defender and get to the basket but he is shooting more jumpers. He is quick on the ball defensively and may breakout this year.
Stephan Iron Shell Stephan Iron Shell 5'11" | SG Arizona Lutheran | 2025 State AZ Arizona Lutheran
A little known sniper from the class. He is kind of a little volume but the lefty will get hot very quickly with a quick trigger, range and huge confidence. He caught my eye in the state playoffs and his stats back it up. He may take another leap this season.
AJ Anderson AJ Anderson 6'0" | PG Paradise Valley | 2025 State AZ Paradise Valley
A scoring point guard with a tight handle and good quickness. He brings a little swagger to his game and makes plays for his teammates plus will get his. He can burst into the paint plus pull-up from both levels. He sat out all year and looks to make a big impact for the Trojans this season. It also doesn’t hurt that he grew two-three inches.
Elijah Brush Elijah Brush 6'4" | SF Hamilton | 2025 State AZ Chandler
A long wing forward with skill and versatility. He can work inside with put backs, rebound in his area and block shots. He will also step out and shoot the three plus is starting to handle the ball more and can pull-up or get to the rim. He may not be done growing and could be a breakout candidate.
Lamar Anderson Lamar Anderson 6'3" | SF Dysart | 2025 State AZ Dysart
The third brother is in a prime spot for way more production. With the graduation of his oldest brother, there will be more opportunity for him to put up some numbers. He is a fluid athlete who defends multiple positions. Offensively he usually takes a back seat to his siblings and this could be a breakout year for him.
Noah Oliver Noah Oliver 6'3" | SG Canyon View | 2025 State AZ Canyon View
Another player who had to sit out on varsity this year. He did show out on junior varsity but is clearly ready for varsity with some big numbers the past two months in club ball. He is strong, has good size and will score and defend many positions with his strength.
Isaiah Terry Isaiah Terry 6'3" | SG Hamilton | 2025 State AZ Hamilton
A junior varsity standout will get his chance on varsity. The younger brother of Dalen Terry (Chicago Bulls) may be what the Huskies need. He can defend the 1-3 plus score it from the perimeter and get to the basket with a burst. If he is a late bloomer like Dalen was, he may add some height too.
