#73 Austin Maziasz Austin Maziasz 6'5" | SG Westlake | 2025 State | Westlake
Maziasz has good size and skill for the wing position. At 6-feet-5, the junior can stretch the floor to the three-point line off the catch and is a capable driver and finisher with a good pop of athleticism and physicality when finishing around the basket. Maziasz has put together a number of impressive two-way performances when it comes to scoring and rebounding.
#80 MJ Smith MJ Smith 6'4" | CG La Mirada | 2025 State | La Mirada
Smith’s skill-set is an intriguing one because of his combination of size, length, athleticism and ability to play multiple positions. The 6-foot-4 junior has been playing some point guard for the Matadores this season and has shown to be a capable initiator of offense who can slide off the ball and be a secondary playmaker as well. Smith is still progressing on the offensive end, but his versatility as an on-ball defender makes him a very good high school player.
#105 Matthew Mendias Matthew Mendias 6'4" | SG Norco | 2025 State | Norco
Mendias has been putting up big scoring numbers at Norco and his ability to shoot the catch and shoot three in addition to the mid-range jumper makes him an effective high school two guard. Mendias scored a school record 60 points earlier this season and is averaging 19.1 points per game on the season.
#108 JD Wyatt JD Wyatt 6'2" | PG Sun Valley Poly | 2025 State | Sun Valley Poly
Wyatt is a dynamic scoring guard who thrives in the open court where he uses his speed and craftiness to get to the rim and score. He also has a shiftiness and stop-and-go ability that allows him to blow-by defenders in the half-court setting and put pressure on defenses. Wyatt can also get it going from three-point range off the catch and off the bounce.
#113 Dominic Copenhagen Dominic Copenhagen 6'4" | SF Roosevelt | 2025 State | Eastvale Roosevelt
Copenhagen is a really solid glue guy for a team that’s bound for an Open Division appearance. The 6-foot-3 forward makes hustle plays, guards multiple positions, rebounds in and out of his area and brings a toughness and energy factor to the floor that is much needed in the type of schedule Roosevelt has played this season.
#119 Desmond Every Jr. Desmond Every Jr. 6'0" | PG Pasadena | 2025 State | Pasadena
Every has put together a strong junior campaign as a guard who can score in bunches or run the team with a high IQ at the point guard spot. The 5-foot-11 guard is a knock down shooter off the catch from three-point range and can get to a balanced mid-range jumper off the dribble.
