Top Available 2025 Guards

Goodman is a versatile three-level scorer whose playmaking took a major leap this season playing alongside more talented players at Waukee Northwest. He can play with or without the ball in his hands, getting to his spots off the bounce or knocking down shots off the catch in bunches. He's a bit of a streaky shooter, but when he gets it rolling, he's one of the most explosive scorers in the state. He really improved over the last year as a defender as well, showing a willingness to move his feet and utilize his length on that end of the floor. He averaged 16.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 3.2 steals per game on 50-36-75 shooting splits for the 4A runner-up Wolves, and is the type of guard who should be on the radar of Division II programs.     Deng may have been the best defensive player in the state over the last three years, and will give whoever lands him a lockdown wing defender capable of defending one through three at the next level. He has good size and length at 6-4, is a fantastic athlete, and understands the value that he provides on that end of the floor with his ability to take away the opposing team's best player.     I'm not sure whether or not Frazell is wanting to pursue basketball at the next level because he's also a really good golfer. But if he wants to play basketball, he's an elite shooter who could become a big-time scorer at a Division III (Wartburg) if he wanted to stay close to home, or become a really nice role player at a Division II program. He's one of the best pure shooters I've seen in my time at PHIA, going 124-246 (50.4%) from the arc over the last two years.     The son of new Iowa head coach Ben McCollum may just follow dad to Iowa City as a walk-on, but if he wants to go his own way, he's another guard who could make an impact at a Division II program down the line. He's a high IQ, efficient player who can knock down shots off the catch or the dribble. He plays with pace, doesn't get sped up, and does a good job getting his teammates involved. He averaged 13.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game on 51-41-85 splits.     Lieurance is another big-time scorer, the leading scorer in school history at Cascade, a program that has had a number of really talented players pass through over the years. He's one of the most deadly shooters in the state, making everything look effortless on the offensive end of the floor with his smooth stroke, unlimited range, and the fact that he doesn't ever force up a shot. In addition to being a high-level basketball player, he's also a really smart kid, with a 3.98 GPA, which will make him even more intriguing for college programs. I think he's the type of player who could see his stock skyrocket if he wanted to spend a year or two at a JuCo, but he could also be a really nice player at a Division II or NAIA-level program.     Cason made the move from Valley to DCG for his senior year, and he was ridiculously good, putting together a first-team All-State caliber season. He averaged 23.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game for the Mustangs on 50% shooting. He's a capable 3-point shooting threat, but he's at his best in the mid-range, a lost art in modern basketball.     A lightning-quick guard with a great feel for the game, Driscoll is a knockdown 3-point shooter off both the dribble and the catch. He does a great job changing speeds and using that change of pace to get by defenders, and he sees the floor extremely well and is a talented passer. He averaged 20.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 2.3 steals, and posted 48-37-91 shooting splits.
