<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The talent at #PeachState25 extended across every position, but the perimeter play was especially competitive. Here is a look at several perimeter players who stood out with their scoring, playmaking, and all-around impact…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2900057,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Mardrevion-Kizer-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Mardrevion-Kizer-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2900057" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Mardre'vion Kizer</strong> (5'9/PG/2030/[program_tooltip program_id='2076562' first='Alabama' last='Fusion']) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: d1.dre0&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Dreclass2030</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Mardre'vion is a lead guard who proved to be able to balance scoring and facilitating. While he can run the show, he was at his best when looking for his offense, which he often did in iso situations, putting pressure on defenders. He uses his handles to get to his spots on the floor, where he does a good job getting into his shot. He scores well from the perimeter but also showed his scoring versatility with his ability to put the ball on the floor and score off the bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2900058,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Zacharias-Porter-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Zacharias-Porter-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2900058" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Zacharias Porter</strong> (5'9/PG/2029/Talent Wins Games) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: zptweakin / TalentWinsGames</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @zptweakin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Zacharias is a small guard who stood out to me first with his play on the defensive end of the floor, as he did a good job playing the passing lanes and getting steals. He is a lead guard who is heady and, while still developing his PG IQ, made some good decisions with the rock at times. He puts pressure on the rim, keeps the offense fluid, and was a calming floor general regardless of the score. He competes on both ends of the floor, which is something that will travel with him wherever he goes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2900059,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Josiah-Demiel-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Josiah-Demiel-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2900059" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Josiah Demiel</strong> (5'10/G|F/2030/Boo Willams) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: @jo_demiel2030 / bswlstrothers2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Josiah played to his strength, which was his ability to knock down the perimeter shot. He is effective at spacing the floor and being a catch-and-shoot threat from behind the arc. He is a player who must be accounted for whenever he is on the floor, as his ability to shoot the three can change the course of a game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2900060,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-King-Johnson-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-King-Johnson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2900060" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>King Johnson</strong> (5'9/SG/2029/adghoopzelite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: kingjohnson2029 / adghoopzelite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @kingjohnson2029 / @adghoopzelite&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">King is an off-guard with a versatile scoring ability. He showed that he could knock down the three, and that his perimeter jumper must be respected. He is also capable of putting the rock on the floor and getting to the cup, where he displayed some crafty finishes. His ability to score at multiple levels keeps defenders guessing, which often leads to King being a step ahead and taking advantage of the possession.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2900061,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Tariq-Glover-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Tariq-Glover-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2900061" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Tariq Glover</strong> (5'9/CG/2029/24/7 Jr Ballers) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Riq2shifty4u&nbsp; / 24/7 jr ballers 2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Riq2shifty4u&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tariq is a lead guard who consistently lived in the paint, making high-level reads with the ball off the bounce. His paint touches make him a threat to break down defenders and collapse defenses. He is an unselfish floor general who excels at finding the open man once he is in the heart of the defense and possesses the passing skills to spray to open shooters or drop off to the post for easy looks. He has a developing PG IQ and was one of the few PGs on the trend to become a true floor general.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2900063,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Jazir-Golden-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Jazir-Golden-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2900063" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Ja'zir Golden</strong> (5'11/CG/2029/Carolina Dreamchasers) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Showt1me.ja / Carolina_dreamchasers</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @JazirGolden2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ja'zir proved to be a really good facilitator, despite also being able to play off the ball effectively. He did a good job keeping the offense fluid and distributing the rock to keep teammates involved. His burst in the open floor made him dangerous at times, as defenders had a difficult time staying in front of him and keeping him out of the paint. He has a budding PG IQ, and his ability to keep defenders off balance with his change of pace ability is going to be a useful asset as he continues his basketball journey.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2900064,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Datan-Stephens-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Datan-Stephens-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2900064" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Datan Stephens</strong> (5'6/SG/2030/Brotherhood Elite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: iiamdatan / Brotherhoodelite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @iiamdatan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Datan is a small guard who plays on and off the ball, but was at his best when he was looking for his offense. He scored it well from the perimeter and proved to be a tough shot maker at his young age. He was not afraid to attack the trees in the paint, but also had the feel to know when to pull up for his midi. His scoring ability is what caused Datan to stand out despite his size. He is a small, shifty guard who does damage on the perimeter.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2900065,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Christian-Levy-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PHN-Christian-Levy-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2900065" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Christian Levy</strong> (5'8/PG/2029/Team Spartans) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: bestleftyinmass / goteamspartans</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @MassMadeChris / @GoTeamSpartans</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Christian is a small lead guard who played more like a traditional pass-first PG. I liked watching him compete because he has a budding PG IQ, controls the pace of the game, has really good court awareness, court vision, and passing skills. He does a good job navigating through tight defenses with ease, making split-second decisions off the bounce, and does a good job setting up teammates for high-percentage shots. He is a lead guard to keep an eye on as he steps onto the high school scene.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
