who has been lighting it up from all over the floor. We are not putting these players in any order but you can debate who you think is the best and we might have missed a player as well.
If we were to say that this kid is going to break the state record for most three-pointers made in a game, you would not be surprised because Hunter is a phenomenal shooter. Hunter can hit off the dribble as he is bringing the ball up or walk into a shot as well. Hunter can come off of a screen and if you go under he will make you pay because he has good and quick footwork, He can also run the lanes and you have to be aware of him all the time as he is money as a catch and shoot option.
Highlights
One of the best shooters in the state and his size helps him. He can handle the ball but his bread and nutter is shooting beyond the arc, He has superior range and if you give him time and space he will make it rain. He has gotten really good off the bounce and even when he does not have the ball he spaces the floor well and can relocate in a hurry. He should be getting next level looks.
One of the toughest bucket getters out there. Not sure when he will commit but when he does teams at the D1 level will be getting a player that knows how to line it up and with a high catch and release there are not many players in the country that can spread the floor quite like he does.
Likely the best shooter in the state that has the most complete game. Dutch has the height to shoot over defenders and he will be able to get his shot off at the D1 level. You do not have to run him off of multiple screens to get him good looks because he can create space and score. His activity off the ball can really help because he is not just a catch and shoot player he does a lot more than just shoot so defenders have to respect his game. He will be among one of the best shooters to ever play in Utah as he will be among the top in the record books.
Highlights
John was on an absolute tear this past grassroots season averaging 4+ three-pointers a game and at times he was being face guarded and denied. That is kind of crazy when it comes to AAU ball, something that you do not see very often. He had defenders much taller than him chasing him around. The fact that he can shoot against other D1 players on a consistent basis is very impressive and he finished Top shooter in the country against all other shoe circuit players.
Diego has been one of the best shooters in the state as he has been known to use his quickness and off the ball running off of screens action to get his shots off. Might be one of the highest percentage shot makers in the state and when it comes to leaving players open, he is not the one you want to leave open.
Jaxon is a big time shooter and although he is not always casting three-pointers like other smaller guards it is because he does so much work inside the arc but do not get it twisted this kid is a D1 premier shooter. He can do it off the bounce, off of screens and as simple catch and shoot and he has started mastering the no dip shot as well.
One of the best rhythm shooting guards for sure as he is a player that can rattle off 3-5 in a row and change the game completely. College coaches have really taken to the size he brings to the next level and that shot making ability.
If you are looking for size and shooting you need not look any further. Dean Will be in the Top 150 by the time he is a senior by the way he is playing ball. He is a shooting at a high level among other things that he is doing. If you need a tough bucket he is a go to player. When he is playing his true position which is likely the 3 he is just different out there. This kid is deadly from deep.
Highlights
This kid can really let it fly and he is not afraid of the moment as he can really spread the floor and he has range already. Jax is one of the promising shooters in the incoming class of 2027. With great mechanics he will be inserted nicely at AF when he is ready.
Big S/O to these other shooters as well.
