2026 Rankings: Sleepers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With 355 players, there are bound to be players that fall under the radar and could make a jump in the next year or so.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are 7 sleepers from the senior class to possibly make a jump this year:&nbsp;</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2039491' first='Kamari' last='Stanbury'] <strong>Gilbert Christian </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A jet quick defensive minded pure point guard missed all year with an injury and looks to get back on track this season with a full bill of health. He can score and defend. He has quicker feet and hands and will score with bursts in the lane and perimeter jumpers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2249642' first='Travon' last='Howard'] <strong>Verrado </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another player who missed all of last season due to an injury. He is a bigger combo guard who can defend both guard spots plus score it. He shoots it from the three point line and can pull-up from mid-range plus hit the three. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2628372' first='Ryan' last='Felix'] <strong>Douglas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top two-way guards in Tucson can play on or off the ball. He has very quick hands and feet and can pester his opponents up the court. He will score it on the break and hit the open three off the catch. A classic 3 and D type. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2630596' first='Dalton' last='Yarmolovich'] <strong>Ironwood Ridge</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger small forward with a plus wingspan. He can score it from all three levels with threes off the catch, he gets downhill with euros, floaters and rebounds well in his area and scores on offensive rebound put backs. Their top scorer graduated and he looks to break out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2571727' first='Cartier' last='Flores'] <strong>Westview (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A true breakout season is coming this season for Flores. They graduated some good talent and he is a natural scorer from the point guard position. He will score it with threes off the catch, mid-range jumpers off the bounce and he is sneaky quick to the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2674056' first='Fitz' last='Guinan'] <strong>Coconino</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top Northern Arizona shooters and players. He is a bigger sized scoring guard who can fill it up from beyond the arc. He will rattle in shots one by one. He can also ball fake and get a step on his defender to the basket. He plays a cerebral game and I would not be surprised if he has some 25+ point outings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2293079' first='Jayden' last='Cunningham'] <strong>Perry</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jayden is an athletic combo guard who can play on or off the ball. He moves the ball like you should and he is a top tier rebounder when healthy. He has been battling injuries all summer/fall with a back injury. When he gets back fully healed, he will be leaned on again. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
