2025 Rankings Update: New Additions – Perimeter Playmakers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These variety of perimeter playmakers have been impressive throughout the past three months, reaffirming their abilities since the previous high school season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2430426"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667c42c09c86f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lunsford has leapt into the conversation as one of the top shooting guards in the state, going into his final year with Green Mountain. Bringing great size at roughly 6'4, he has routinely provided knockdown shooting, taking what the defense gives him throughout each possession. His dramatic scoring production of late makes him a notable riser within this class. Steadily improving his handle since last season, the guard has become even more of a threat one on one. Lunsford posted 12.3 points and 3.9 rebounds per game while converting 39% of his three point attempts this past season with Green Mountain. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2460048"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667c42c09c8d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A crucial playmaker for Riverdale Ridge this coming season, Nieto brings a smooth handle and sturdy frame to take on a huge role for the new look team. Following averages of 10.3 points, 3 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game, he has all the tools to handle a high usage opportunity. Bringing soft touch on two-foot attempts around the basket, he is dependable even versus tight contests. Alongside the wiry frame, Nieto is a quick guard who creates driving lanes with ease, either one on one or by attacking the rotating defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2408107"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667c42c09c915"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arocho has the ball on string, leveraging his low center of gravity to find openings in the driving lanes time and time again. Capable of rising up for shot attempts within the mid-range off the dribble, he retains great balance on jump shot attempts. Rarely sped up, he is a consistent decision maker within the halfcourt, carefully surveying the floor for cutters or kick out options. Defensviley, although not the most physically imposing, Arocho has great intuition at the point of attack to deter drives. This follows his season with 21-5 Mountain Vista who reached the Elite Eight, averaging 5.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3 assists per game while converting 35% of three point attempts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2466514"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667c42c09c954"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A well rounded guard who shows signs as a legit lead guard stepping into a bigger role with Regis Jesuit, working hard to facilitate for shotmakers. A comfortable ball handler versus pressure, he looks to attack the rim more often than not, consistently creating good looks for shotmakers. If help approaches, he shows comfortability knocking down floaters above contests, capable versus incoming help defense.

This past season with Palmer, he looked to pressure the rim more often than not, looking to draw in the defense to create openings for shotmakers. Defensively, Morgan competes at the point of attack, making up for his lack of size thanks to his high motor. Palmer looks to make noise down in the Colorado Springs region yet again, retaining the majority of rotation players from last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
