In his first year as a varsity starter, Littlefield was sterling for the Warriors, knocking down nearly 50% of his 3-point attempts, leading the team in assists, and posting a 2-1 assist-to-turnover ratio in the loaded CIML. He’s a calming presence at the lead guard spot who limits turnovers and takes what is given to him.
2.) 2023 Jaxson Eisenbarth (Marshalltown) – 36/75 (48.0%)
Eisenbarth is a true sharpshooter who saw 94% of his field-goal attempts come from behind the arc as a junior. He moves well without the ball in his hands and has a quick release off the catch.
3.) 2025 Abe Vos Abe Vos 6'2" | SG Ames | 2025 State IA (Hoover) – 50/111 (45.0%)
Vos put together a strong freshman season for the Huskies as their third scoring threat, knocking down 50 3-pointers during his debut year. He moves well off the ball and has a quick release off the catch.
4.) 2024 Grant Tigges Grant Tigges 6'4" | SG Waukee Northwest | 2024 State IA (Waukee Northwest) – 26/58 (44.8%)
On a team that is absolutely loaded with shooting threats, it was actually Tigges who was the most effective last season, burying just under 45% of his 3-point attempts as a sophomore. While opposing defenses are paying close attention to Pryce Sandfort Pryce Sandfort 6'7" | SF Waukee Northwest | 2023 State #123 Nation IA and Cade Kelderman Cade Kelderman 6'0" | PG Waukee Northwest | 2023 State IA , Tigges is getting wide-open looks and burning teams routinely. He does a great job floating into open spaces while the defense collapses, and he has a really quick release on his jumper. Look for him to continue to develop his all-around offensive game, which will only make his ability to shoot it even more deadly.
5.) 2024 Grant Uecker Grant Uecker 6'3" | PG Urbandale | 2024 State IA (Urbandale) – 50/114 (43.9%)
A shifty lead guard who led the J-Hawks in scoring as a sophomore at 11.0 points a game, Uecker is coming off a strong summer with the Iowa Battlers as both a scorer and facilitator. He has a lightning-quick release off both the dribble and the catch and extended range. He looks primed to have a breakout junior year for an Urbandale team that should be among the more improved teams in the class.
6.) 2023 Lincoln Cantrall Lincoln Cantrall 6'8" | PF Southeast Polk | 2023 State IA (Southeast Polk) – 45/103 (43.7%)
A 6-7 sharpshooting wing, Cantrall has excellent size and the ability to get his shot off pretty much whenever he wants. He moves well without the ball in his hands and has a quick release off the catch. With his length, he also provides a bit of versatility on the defensive end as he can stay in front of guards, contest shots, and bang against bigger bodies in the paint. He averaged 8.8 points a game with strong 45-44-68 shooting splits.
7.) 2025 Davis Kern Davis Kern 6'8" | PF Linn-Mar | 2025 State #244 Nation IA (Linn-Mar) – 27/62 (43.5%)
Kern was incredibly productive as a freshman for the Lions, averaging 10.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks a game. A mobile 6-8 big man who is rapidly improving, he’s the prototype of a modern-day big man with his ability to run the floor and finish around the rim, protect the paint, switch defensively, and stretch the floor with his shooting. He has already picked up an offer from South Dakota State.
8.) 2023 Cade Kelderman Cade Kelderman 6'0" | PG Waukee Northwest | 2023 State IA (Waukee Northwest) – 43/99 (43.4%)
The skilled lefty lead guard had a breakout junior year for the Wolves, averaging 16.0 points and 5.4 assists while posting impressive 50-43-84 shooting splits. He shoots it equally effectively off the dribble or the catch.
9.) 2023 Brayden Drea Brayden Drea 5'10" | PG Indianola | 2023 State IA (Indianola) – 49/114 (43.0%)
The Ankeny transfer stepped in and played a major role for the Indians immediately last season, finishing second on the team in scoring at 11.9 points a game while also serving as a reliable secondary ball-handler and playmaker. His ability to shoot it both off the dribble and the catch helps open everything else up for one of 4A’s most potent offenses.
10.) 2023 Jay Grause (Sioux City West) – 45/105 (42.9%)
A 6-0 off-ball guard, Grause was the beneficiary of playing alongside Keavian Hayes Keavian Hayes 6'2" | SG Sioux City West | 2023 State IA , a talented lead guard who can get into the paint and kick out to open shooters like Grause. He shot better from behind the arc (42.9%) than he did from inside of it (33.3%) as a junior.
