2025 Rankings: Point Guard Evaluations

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The newly released 2025 rankings now feature over 50 players with 17 of them being point guards. The point guard position is very deep with some talented players in this class. There are point guards who will get the opportunity to play at the collegiate level following their senior year. This article won't evaluate all 17 point guards who are ranked, but let's take a look at the top 5 PG's from the class of 2025. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465491' first='Erianna' last='Gooden'] | PG | Northside</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Erianna commands the #2 spot statewide and tops the charts as the #1 ranked point guard, boasting a height advantage at around 6'0. Her unique stature affords her capabilities beyond those of most point guards in the state. With exceptional court vision, she navigates plays proficiently, showcasing her ability to drive to the rim, sink mid-range jumpers off the dribble, and stretch her shooting range to the three-point line. Erianna's sights are set on clinching the #1 position, aiming to establish herself as the premier player in the class of 2025 within the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465492' first='Samyah' last='Jordan'] | PG | Conway</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Samyah is the #2 point guard in the class of 2025 and is listed at #4 in the state. The motor that kept Conway running, Samyah often produces easy catch-and-shoot opportunities for her teammates. Arguably the best on-ball defender from the point guard position in her class. Her pressure is a nightmare for opposing PG's. Her mid-range pull-up jumper off the dribble is one of the best in the state despite the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465493' first='Sidni' last='Middleton'] | PG | Vilonia</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When it comes to complete offensive skills Sidni might be the best in the state from the point guard position. She can handle the ball and break down the defense, she's a great passer, shoots the mid-range and the three, finishes around the rim, and can post up smaller guards. Sidni is a major piece to Vilonia's success and why they remain a team to beat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465497' first='Marin' last='Adams'] | PG | Farmington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marin embodies the essence of playing the game with integrity and strategy. As a high IQ point guard, she possesses a versatile skill set, capable of sinking threes, orchestrating plays for teammates, executing finishes around the rim, and applying formidable defensive pressure leveraging her size and length.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465496' first='Kori' last='Sanders'] | PG | Lamar</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Returning from injury can be challenging, but Kori seamlessly picked up where she left off, projecting the same confidence and intensity as before. Her relentless motor on the court leaves me in awe, especially with her defensive tenacity and fluidity on offense, making it difficult for opponents to contain her. Capable of driving, shooting from beyond the arc, and creating plays, Kori's versatility is evident. With the summer ahead, I'm excited to witness her further ascent in the rankings as she continues to refine her skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are several other point guards who are ranked in the 2025 class.
