On Monday, On3 released an updated 2025 On3 150 ranking. The previous update for this class was in April. In the time since the previous update, we have seen half of a high school basketball season pass by. The On3 national team has racked up the air miles along with watching countless hours of streams and film.
Storylines from the 2025 On3 150 Ranking Update
This update saw AJ Dybantsa hold serve in the No. 1 spot for the third update. On3 first moved Dybantsa, originally in the 2026 class, to No. 1 when he announced his re-classification in October. Dybantsa has had a strong Spring with the Oakland Soldiers program leading them to a 14-1 overall record while finishing the regular season fourth in scoring on efficient shooting.
On3’s rankings use a baseline of first projecting for the NBA Draft, with a career in the league being a secondary projection tool. Our goal is to assess a prospect’s long-term potential, ultimately manifested by the NBA Draft. We look at a player’s career developmental arc and how their game projects moving forward.
Here are some of the top topic questions, applied to the 2025 class update.
How close was the race for No. 1?
The discussion for the No. 1 position was not the slam dunk conversation that has happened in the past. Ultimately, AJ Dybantsa maintained his position at the top of the class, however, Cameron Boozer’s continued production, across all levels of play, is very hard to ignore.
Boozer, the 6-foot-8 power forward, is the son of former NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist Carlos Boozer. In his high school career, he has won three Florida State championships, two Nike Peach Jam titles, and a FIBA gold medal with the USA Basketball Junior National Team. He has also won MaxPreps National Player of the Year and Gatorade Player of the Year honors.
Yes, Cameron Boozer bleeds production. He is currently leading Nike’s EYBL Circuit in scoring and rebounding for the 13-1 top-ranked Nightrydas program. All of this is what is making things a conversation for the No. 1 player in the class.
With AJ Dybantsa, he has produced as well. Dybantsa’s Napa (FL) Prolific Prep team does not play for a state championship. However, the 6-foot-8 wing did win overall MVP of the Grind Session, the league with which Prolific Prep plays. Along with that, Dybantsa’s 22.2 points are fourth on Nike’s EYBL Circuit this year. He is also shooting 50.2 percent from the field, 38.0 percent from three, and 80.0 percent from the free-throw line. Dybantsa also has a FIBA gold medal with the USA Basketball Junior National Team.
At the end of the day, when putting Dybantsa and Boozer side-by-side, the ceiling of Dybantsa is higher. Some of that might have to do with the potential archetype outcome and in Dybantsa’s case the value of a creating or scoring wing. Boozer’s IQ and feel are nonetheless through the roof, but Dybantsa’s basketball ceiling continues to grow.
For now, Dybantsa remains the No. 1 player in On3’s 2025 cycle, however, it is not a conversation we foresee going away anytime soon.
Which player(s) are you higher on than others?
Chris Cenac is the obvious one here, however, I have spoken about him a couple of times in other articles. The same with new No. 1 overall point guard Kingston Flemings. Braylon Mullis is another one that On3 was the first to put in the rankings last summer, and he has continued to rise. However, with the spring he has had, I fully expect others to follow suit with Mullins. So for this space, I will write about three guys that On3 bumped higher than the industry for a couple of cycles now, and they continue to add to their games.
Malachi Moreno, On3’s No. 18 overall player in the 2025 On3 150, is a 7-foot-0 center who has length and fluidity. Moreno is a throwback big of sorts, if this was 2005, he would be a consensus top-five type player. However, the game has changed, there is an emphasis on shooting, which brings spacing, and creation, which brings positional fluidity. What still carries great value in the game is rim protection and switchability. Can a big guard in the pick-and-roll and he can defend the paint and the basket? Moreno can do both, very well. He is also a quality area rebounder with an expansive catch radius. Moreno has a natural touch, but he will need to continue cleaning up his jump-shot mechanics. He can score over his left shoulder, but he will need to continue strengthening his base. With that said, the fluidness that Moreno has with his instincts around the basket has him in this range for us.
Niko Bundalo, On3’s No. 19 overall player, is a skilled and fluid 6-foot-9 forward. He is comfortable handling the ball and is a quick processor, making decisions in the half-court, What has really endeared Bundalo to our scouting eyes is the edge he plays with. With all the skill and fluidity, at his size, he is also very competitive. Positional size and positional fluidity are very important in today’s game. Especially when you package that together with shooting and processing. Bundalo continues to improve his production.
There is just something about Tylis Jordan that I cannot turn away from. Standing at a legit 6-foot-9, he has excellent length and mobility. He is able to guard perimeter-based forwards and then switch down the lineup to act as a team’s primary rim-protector. He is quick-twitch and explosive with his athleticism. This leads to some very intriguing defensive upside. Offensively, Jordan can knock down threes off the catch. He has a consistent release with a quiet shot load. He is still polishing his overall game, but the positional fluidity and the switchability his hard to deny. Each time out Jordan seems to add something to his game. While this is betting on the upside, the production and measurables are there.
Who was the toughest player in the class to rank?
During the last 2025 On3 150 update, the person who was written about in this space was Darius Acuff. The point guard at Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy still remains difficult to place, but at No. 20, not much has changed with him since the last time I wrote about him. So I went in a different direction.
For this question, I want to talk about Will Riley. The 6-foot-8 wing from Malvern (PA) Phelps School. He kept his five-star status, remaining in the top ten (No. 10) of the class. So why is he hard to place, well it is the unique style of his game. The totality of his production is what we are banking on when placing him as a five-star.
While an individual outing might not be the most aesthetic, a grouping of viewings paints a more complete picture. Riley is a scorer, an effective bucket-getter who can self-create and knock down shots. At 6-foot-8, pushing 6-foot-9, he is comfortable on the ball in the half-court. Where he is unique is his use of pace and a herky-jerky cadence.
Riley is capable of touching the paint on the ball. While he might lack top-end burst, he carries an array of hesitation dribbles, up-and-under shots, and off-balance finishes that make him difficult to guard. At his size, playing balanced off two feet, Riley draws a lot of fouls, getting to the free-throw line a good bit.
When looking at his shooting breakdowns, the range of his outcomes can be pretty drastic. One game going 2-9 from three and the next 6-7. However, at the end of the day, just as it did this season, he typically evens out to around 40 percent.
A confident guard/wing with positional size who can self-create, shoot, and draw foul has a lot of value. And just as his 42-point outburst for UPlay Canada in Nike’s EYBL Indiana stop would suggest, while it might not be the most traditional, Riley is producing a valuable rate.
Which player(s) could you see outplaying their ranking?
In the world of basketball, at every level, shot-making is coveted. So far this spring, there might have not been a better shot-maker in the class than Jamarion Batemon. After the scorching hot start he had to his travel season, Batemon made his 2025 On3 150 debut at No. 55.
The 6-foot-3 guard played this high school season at Milwaukee (WI) Academy of Science and he is playing this travel season with the Power 5 program on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit. Through three 3SSB stops, Batemon is averaging 21.9 points and shooting 44.4 percent from three on 10.3 attempts per game.
Batemon’s ability to find space has been impressive, but so has the confidence he has shown in his shooting ability. Through the spring, Batemon has claimed three offers, West Virginia, DePaul, and Virginia Tech. Marquette, Wake Forest, and Iowa State were already involved with the four-star sharp-shooter.
He has excellent footwork and drifts well off the ball to find open passing lanes with his primary ball-handler. The release is quick and his shot load is consistent, no matter the angle with which he leaves the floor. Batemon has shown comfort in knocking down shots off movement, stepping into them, or as a spot-shooter. Combing through the film, it truly has been an impressive display, game in and game out.
With the premium that is placed on shooting and shot-making, it would not surprise me to see Jamarion Batemon, if he keeps up at this pace, continue to climb the rankings over the next few cycles.
