We move over to the combo guards for the junior class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the top-8 CG's in the 2025 class:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1135514' first='Treyvion' last='Curry'] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An uber athletic guard is a two-way player. He is one of, if not the best, on-ball defender in the class. He has some strength with very quick feet and long arms to keep opponents in front of him. He gets downhill well and rebounds better than many forwards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1369213' first='Amare' last='King'] <strong>Casteel</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the tallest guards in the state from this class is King. He can score it from all three levels and make plays for his teammates. He can shoot the three off the catch and pull-up from mid-range and flush it down on the break. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1150852' first='DeNali' last='McNeal']<strong> Canyon View</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An all-around guard plays on or off the ball. He handles a lot of the point guard duties and seamlessly can move over to the two. He scores it from all levels with pull-ups, catch threes and gets to the basket as he hesitates well to pass his defender. He is slowly getting more athletic as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1369218' first='Gavin' last='Dabney'] <strong>Higley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger guard can play and defend multiple positions. He handles the ball well for his size and sees the court quickly. He rebounds unusually well and can score on put backs and shoot the three. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1128462' first='David' last='Franks'] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic combo guard can jump out of the gym with a 45+ inch vertical. He has a stronger upper body and is a quick on-ball defender. He shoots the three with real range and can explode up on the break to dunk it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1482216' first='Christion' last='Fleming'] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another hyper athletic guard glides around the court. He has a good enough handle to play both guard positions and can make plays. He shoots the three off the catch and can create his own with a shifty handle. He throws it down easily above the rim on the break. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1275632' first='Lex' last='Clontz'] <strong>Cesar Chavez (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another versatile all-around guard can play the 1-3 for his team and handles a lot of the lead guard role. He makes good plays with drive and kicks and can score from both perimeter levels. He shoots it easily from the three and can pull-up from mid. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1274847' first='Adam' last='Hubbard'] <strong>Canyon View</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long combo guard can make plays with good court awareness but is a natural scorer. He is tough on the break with great speed and he can score it in traffic. He also has deep three point range mostly off the catch but is improving his shot creation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
