Week in Review: Top 2025s I Saw Last Week

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='1759903' first='Carson' last='Lambert'] (Monticello)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lambert (pictured) was fantastic in the Panthers blowout win over Beckman Catholic last Tuesday night, scoring 23 points on 8-10 shooting, including going 5-5 from behind the arc. He also had 10 rebounds and 3 assists. A sharpshooting lefty who moves well without the ball in his hands, he has a quick release off the catch with a pure stroke that looks effortless.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PG [player_tooltip player_id='1381408' first='Zach' last='Driscoll'] (Decorah)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top guards in the 2025 class, Driscoll had his complete arsenal on display in a win over Cedar Rapids Washington, scoring 20 points on 6-14 (1-3 3P, 7-7 FT) shooting to go with 8 assists. A quick guard with tight handles, great footwork, and the ability to change directions without losing speed, he sees the floor exceptionally well and is a talented playmaker and scorer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='1759902' first='Kayvion' last='Hodges'] (Muscatine)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a big MAC win over Davenport Central, Hodges had 16 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and a block. He struggled at times with turnovers, driving too deep into the defense and getting himself into trouble, his ability to put constant pressure on opposing defenses is also what makes him such a dangerous offensive player. He's a plus-athlete who handles it well, finishes around the rim, and sees the floor well. He's also one of the most versatile defensive weapons in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PF [player_tooltip player_id='2605429' first='Cade' last='Daufeldt'] (Muscatine)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic, mobile 6-5 big man with good hands and awareness on the defensive end, Daufeldt makes an impact on the game on both ends of the floor by putting himself in the right spots and taking advantage of his chances offensively. He's an efficient finisher around the rim with either hand, is aggressive on the glass, and can move his feet on the perimeter or protect the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF Ian Church (Muscatine)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Church was solid against Davenport Central, scoring 8 points and dishing out 5 assists. A 6-5 wing who sees over the defense and keeps the ball moving, he's the type of player that every winning team needs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PF [player_tooltip player_id='1484410' first='Ryan' last='Watters'] (Central DeWitt)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A mobile 6-6 big man who stuffs the stat sheet in a variety of ways for the Sabers, Watters put together a great game against Northeast, scoring 21 points on 6-11 shooting (3-6 3P, 6-9 FT) with 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and a steal. He has continued to gain confidence in his jumper from the 3-point line and improve as a playmaker who sees the floor well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2811905' first='Max' last='Burgmeier'] (Central DeWitt)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-1 off-ball guard who shoots it well off the catch, Burgmeier went 4-6 from behind the arc en route to 19 points and 4 assists against Northeast. He moves well without the ball in his hands and is a talented secondary playmaker who sees the floor well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
