Here are the top newcomers in the 2025 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1228551' first='Le'Darius' last='Jones'], 6'3 SG Camden</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones is the top newcomer in the update and has the potential to have a big summer. The 6'3 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he elevates for dunks and finishes nicely around the rim. Jones can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He moves well without the ball in his hands and slides his feet on the defensive end. Jones is a long, guard prospect whose ability to finish around the basket will help his stock over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2339158' first='Bohdan' last='Biekietov'], 6'8 PF Montgomery</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Biekietov had a big junior campaign as he was able to put his game on display. The 6'8 forward runs the floor hard, setting himself for layups and dunks in transition. Biekietov has a solid face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and has a nice touch around the basket. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and swats a ton of shots around the basket. Biekietov's ability to score inside and out is something that will help his development throughout the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2339149' first='Casper' last='Pohto'], 6'3 SG St. Benedict's</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pohto made an immediate impact for the Gray Bees as he showed his ability to be a 3-and-D player. The 6'3 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Pohto moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He can also get into the paint off the bounce and works hard on the defensive end. Pohto is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should continue his ability to stretch the floor over the spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2339154' first='Isaiah' last='Thomas'], 6'4 SF Paul VI</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas had a strong 2023-24 season as he helped lead the Eagles to the Non-Public A South title. The 6'4 wing is at his best attacking the basket as he finishes strong around the rim and is unafraid of contact. Thomas uses his size to see over his defender and rises up nicely on his jumper. He works hard for rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Thomas is a long, wing prospect who should continue his strong play in the spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1988904' first='Tristan' last='Davis'], 5'9 PG St. Benedict's</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis is a crafty guard prospect who knows how to make plays with the ball in his hands. The 5'9 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can finish in a variety of ways around the basket. Davis has a nice touch on his floater and has a good release on his jumper. He finds open teammates in the halfcourt and is an underrated defender. Davis is a play-maker with the ball in his hands who should continue to make plays throughout the course of his varsity career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Know:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2339156' first='Lucas' last='Dipasupil'], 5'10 PG Northern Highlands</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2339146' first='Jamir' last='Westry'], 5'10 PG College Achieve</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2339148' first='Avery' last='Headley'], 6'8 SF St. Benedict's</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2165719' first='Juan' last='Areche'], 6'6 SF Linden</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598933' first='Cortlin' last='Siska'], 6'4 SG Immaculate Conception</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
