Here are some names to watch that join this edition of the 2025 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2300104"],"_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":"The 6-foot-9 forward has sky-high potential. He's an exceptional athlete who runs the floor, gets on the end of big finishes, and shows off some pretty elusive moves in the paint. He's got plenty more in the tank and shows some evolving perimeter skills that could help take his game up a notch.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1450933"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"One of the few players reclassifying to 2025, Santana was already a top-20 prospect in the 2024 class a season ago and holds an offer from D-I Weber State. He's a lightning quick guard who shows some ability to hit from deep and is developing well as a point guard at Great Futures Prep with plenty of talent to dish to.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1450946"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Another highly ranked 2024 last season, Spencer also moved to Great Futures Prep and makes an excellent backcourt paring with Santana as well as newcomer [player_tooltip player_id='2226155' first='Rav' last='Randhawa']. Spencer put up monster scoring numbers that last two seasons and continues to be an efficient finisher for the Blue Sharks. He's crafty, uses his body well when attacking the hoop, and shoots a high percentage with the jumper.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2300107"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Fox comes over from New Zealand and brings a ton of talent with him. He's another 6-foot-8 forward/wing for Great Futures Prep who plays with strength, effort, and skill. He's a guy that can bang in the paint, step out and paint a three, or get out in transition and finish with power.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1984492"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"I am really liking this kid's game and his growth over the last year. When I first saw him, he looked like a good shooter that could move a bit. Now, he's really become a threat with the ball in his hands, creating tons of looks off the dribble in the mid-range and showing some more strength to finish at the rim. He's very secure with the ball and is quick to stop and elevate, making it easy to get his jump shot off while tightly covered.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["2173011"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"The Skyview guard is tough, strong, and has a quick low-crossover that helps him knife into the paint where he likes to create. He's pretty explosive and showed it at The Hardwood Invite with some big blocks and rim finishes. He's got good ball security when splitting defenders and also shows some scrappiness on the defensive end.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1612213"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Brown was at Peninsula last season where he averaged just over 20 points per game. His game is all about getting penetration, drawing multiple defenders and moving the defense with his ability to beat the initial man. He's super quick, has the handle to breakdown most defenders, and is a really athletic and acrobatic finisher.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["2173025"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"He caught my eye during the spring but has really taken off in his junior year at West Seattle. He can catch fire from deep, has good burst on the first step, and has the athleticism to finish above the rim. He's a balanced player though and can make some impact plays defensively with steals and blocks.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["1937958"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"Most of what I saw from Williams before this season was with him working out of the high post and the frontcourt. However, his skillset has really defined itself with him getting more time with the ball in his hands for Sealth this season. He's a good athlete, shoots the three-ball pretty well, but also has some playmaking in him and really makes it all happen with his strength with the ball. He's off to a hot start with Sealth and looks ready for a big season.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["1637595"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"The Sumner guard is an active player on both ends of the floor, can make the highlight plays with steals and runouts, but also just plays a tough overall style of basketball. He has the ability to find a rhythm with perimeter shots but also has good length and athleticism to attack the hoop.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_10_player":["2173009"],"_player_evaluations_10_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_10_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_10_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_10_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_10_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_10_evaluation":"He's not an overwhelming physical player, but Schneider's an exceptionally smart and crafty point guard who uses change of speeds with the ball and excellent vision to always be a threat with both the pass and the shot. He's the engine that makes Redmond go and is a great find lower down in the rankings.","_player_evaluations_10_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_11_player":["2300110"],"_player_evaluations_11_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_11_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_11_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_11_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_11_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_11_evaluation":"Garcia is a wing who can do a lot of things for Kennedy. He uses his length defensively to guard on the perimeter, rebounds well inside, and has a little bit of playmaking to run the break or create in the half court off the dribble. He's a promising player who showed up big for them in their game against Graham Kapowsin last Saturday.","_player_evaluations_11_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":12,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65838d62e2015"} /-->
