Updated Class of 2025 Rankings – Top Newcomers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our post-spring update of the Class of 2025 rankings is complete and a number of new names have been added to the list. Here's a look at some of the top ones who make their debut.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">39 - [player_tooltip player_id='2458230' first='Zhalei' last='Van'] (2025 Grant) - We are a bit embarassed that Van is a newcomer as he should have been ranked long ago. We've corrected that previous oversight as the 6-foot guard goes into his senior year as one of the top point guards in the PIL. He's crafty off the dribble, gets to the basket and finishes at a high percentage, and makes good decisions with the ball and will be a key factor in Grant's success in 2024-25.</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">46 - [player_tooltip player_id='2448448' first='Rohan' last='Aulakh'] (2025 North Medford) - Aulakh didn't even have to have the basketball in his hands for him to make an impression on us when we first saw him late spring. The 6-foot-5 wing is long, athletic, and runs the floor like a deer. He finishes plays above the rim, competes with intensity, and can even knock down the open three. The rising senior is just scratching the surface of his potential.</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">74 - [player_tooltip player_id='2394758' first='Elijah' last='Malloy'] (2025 Centennial) - It's not often a guy who solely played JV his junior year gets up into the top 100 with his rankings debut, but that's the case with Malloy who has been impressive playing with Team P.A.C.E. The 6-foot-4 guard has a knack for scoring and with his father Shawn standing at 6-foot-10, it's not conceivable more growth could be on the way.</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">77 - [player_tooltip player_id='2458208' first='Andrew' last='Imhoff'] (2025 Trinity Lutheran) - The top ranked 1A player on the list, Imhoff has proven that he can play with the big boys this spring with BOSS Basketball. The 6-foot-4 wing/forward has good length and size to be a mismatch for defenses as he can score both inside and out. We can't imagine there are many that can guard him at the small school level.</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">80 - [player_tooltip player_id='2399890' first='Neptune' last='Alexander Lynch XII'] (2025 Wells) - Lynch started to make a name for himself his junior season as he started to become one of Wells' leading game scorers on a nightly basis. It's not hard to see why as this spring the 6-foot-3 wing is the master of the mid-range game. He shoots it well out to the three-point line, uses the bank shot effectively, and has a deadly pull-up in the lane.</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">83 - [player_tooltip player_id='2451576' first='Christian' last='Crumble'] (2025 Grant) - Looking for a big jump into his senior season will be Crumble, who's been having sucess playing with [program_tooltip program_id='2198275' first='More' last='Than Hoops'] local 17U squad. The 6-foot-4 guard has the ability to get hot from the perimeter, whether it's catch-and-shoot opportunities or moving off the bounce to create space for himself.</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">85 - [player_tooltip player_id='2350672' first='Islam' last='Muzaffarov'] (2025 Century) - Last season, Muzaffarov emerged as a player and became one of Century's leading and more consistent scorers. The 6-foot-1 combo guard can score either hitting shots from the perimeter or getting to the hoop, and plays with good energy and toughness.</h4> <!-- /wp:heading -->
