2025 Rankings: Sleepers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With 275 players, there are bound to be players that fall under the radar and could make a jump in the next year or so.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are 8 sleepers from the junior class to possibly make a jump over the next year:&nbsp;</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2357161' first='Jayden' last='Standifer']<strong> Cholla</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big fella is just scratching the surface. He recently started getting more serious about the game. You see the glimpses with his size and length to rebound and block shots. He can score with a drop step and shows a nice shooting touch. If he starts figuring it out, watch out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1588005' first='Trey' last='Mckinney'] <strong>Perry</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The power forward from Washington is a fluid athlete and comes with skill and played behind Koa and D'Andre. He can face up from mid to the three point line and uses his length and size to score on put backs. His rebounding stood out when he played.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1950118' first='Jeremiah' last='Robertson'] <strong>Casteel</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A mini stock riser already who went up 10+ spots. The long power forward is an above the rim athlete and a fluid mover in space to defend multiple positions. If he keeps progressing his skills, he'll make a leap up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1890161' first='Deshaun' last='Johnson'] <strong>Corona del Sol</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long wing forward went up 32 spots but can be a guy who keeps ascending. He grew a little and has polished up his shooting from the perimeter from both levels. He uses his length to defend and he will be their go-to guy next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1986857' first='Nolan' last='Kramer']<strong> Gilbert</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A power forward who started on the senior dominant team went up 21 spots. He can score from inside but also can shoot it a little facing up. He is good with his back to the basket and is active on defense. The team may play thru him next season and his production will spike up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1286020' first='Connor' last='Corey']<strong> Pinnacle</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly skilled power forward unfortunately missed all season with an injury. He was most likely going to start and went down before the season started. He can shoot it from mid-range and in plus step out and hit the three. He also rebounds well in his area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1377951' first='Kenneth' last='Hill'] <strong>Sunrise Mountain</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger scoring guard went up 31 spots these rankings and can make another leap up. He uses his size and frame to get downhill and can hit the perimeter jumper. If he can keep improving his deep ball, he will rise up some more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1876014' first='Tyran' last='Simpson'] <strong>Deer Valley (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every year there are one or two Deer Valley players who seem to come out of nowhere. They wait their turn with all the depth they have and shine in their senior year. He is one of the better athletes in the class and uses his quick twitch reflexes on defense. If he can evolve more as a shooter, he will move up the next go-around of rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
