A marksman from behind the arc, Nez has been contributing a high volume of high efficiency (48%) throughout the season. Efficient on all three levels, the guard has found the right balance of shooting and shot creation. The current leader among 3A 2025s for points per game and total threes made, Nez remains one of the state’s most consistent shotmakers regardless of class. Alongside his shotmaking, Nez has found ways to take advantage of smaller matchups, often backing down opponents before turning the corner for a drive. Defensively, he is a wiry guard with great timing in the paint, often getting up to swat away shot attempts.

An electric scoring guard, Dawes has found ways to be a threat through his quick acceleration and aggression scoring in the paint. A proactive playmaker, he constantly seeks outlet passes to sprinting teammates, often rewarding those who make themselves available early on. If left open, the guard has proven to be an effective perimeter shooter off the catch. He is among the leaders in points per game and is the current steals per game leader for 3A 2025s.

Perry is a willing facilitator, keeping the ball moving within the halfcourt. As one of two 3A 2025s with 30+ made threes, the guard has proven himself as a dependable three point shooter, particularly off the catch. Perry typically makes his impact within a few dribbles, not slowing down the offense throughout his possessions.
Gonzales brings value through his pick and roll playmaking, excellent at patiently awaiting the screener. His tight handle allows him to operate in tight spaces, active changing speeds to get his defender in a bad position. The current leader among 3A 2025s in assists and free throws, just great at getting into the paint, but equally valuable contributing for himself or setting up teammates with easy shots. Although undersized, he competes on the defensive end, quick to take away space from help or at the point of attack. His low center of gravity makes him especially quick laterally, more than capable of walling off a wide variety of backcourt while landing in the top-5 for points per game, Gonzales is a dependable lead guard.
