2025 Rankings Update: Top Shooting Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hard to believe but these 2025s are already Juniors and only have one year of AAU left before they'll be committing to schools and off to college. This class took a hit with several top ten players opting to leave for prep schools but the class still has a good depth of talent in it. Here's a look at the best shooting guards in this update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1344606"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Chenault is one of the most athletic kids in Kentucky, period.
