2021 Dallas/Ft. Worth Stock Risers

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>After a lot of uncertainty about the summer basketball season, prospects were finally allowed the opportunity to showcase just how much they've improved and how much potential they have. Several players were expected to make big leaps in the rankings this summer going into their senior seasons, here are a few of those recruits that rose in the ranks and may continue to rise during the high school season.</strong></em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em>[player_tooltip player_id="887074" first="Antonio" last="Patterson"]</em> | Guard/Forward | South Oak Cliff High School |</span><br /> </strong>Antonio is one of our biggest stock risers of the year, skyrocketing twenty-one spots ahead from last season. Patterson is an all-around threat that has been on varsity since he stepped on campus as a freshman. Great attitude, high energy, high IQ, coachable prospect that can score on all three levels, making him a handful to defend. [player_tooltip player_id="887074" first="Antonio" last="Patterson"] has already received a D2 offer from Dallas Baptist University and will definitely pick up a few more before the end of his senior campaign.  <br /> <strong style="font-size: 1rem;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Stock Rise: 79 to 58</span></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em>[player_tooltip player_id="779882" first="Rytis" last="Petraitis"]</em> | Shooting Guard/Small Forward | Oak Ridge |<img class=" wp-image-1006623 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/06/DSC_0105-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="183" height="122" /><br /> </span></strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Pure basketball player who contributes consistently across the board. Rytis has prolific scoring abilities, he put up seven 30-point games this past season, while averaging over </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">21 points, </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">6 rebounds, and </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">4 s</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">teals per game; he'</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">ll likely have a couple 40-point games this upcoming season.

Bizimana <span style="font-size: 1rem;">scored nearly 500 points, averaging 20 points and 9 rebounds per game, he</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> stuffed the stat sheet each night. Paul's fundamentals and versatility are what set him apart on the court, he stretches the floor, will knockdown open 3-pointers, can post up and score with one of his many post moves, and Paul can also be a disruptive piece on the defensive end. After such an outstanding junior year he is expected to have an even bigger senior season, likely averaging a double-double, especially after the numbers he put last season. </span><a class="pn-player-link" style="background-color: #edeef0; font-size: 1rem;" href="https://prephoops.com/player/paul-bizimana/"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="887071" first="Paul" last="Bizimana"]</span></a><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> has a tremendous upside, and the potential for his stock to rise to a top 25 ranking in the state. </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Loyola University New Orleans is the only school to offer Bizimana as of yet. <br /> </span><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Stock Rise: 42 to 34</span></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em>[player_tooltip player_id="779895" first="Chase" last="Ross"]</em> | Shooting Guard | Plano West |<img class="wp-image-780636 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2019/07/Chase-Ross-2-263x300.jpg" alt="" width="137" height="156" /></span><br /> </strong>This high flying lefty is one of the most talented scorers in the entire DFW, [player_tooltip player_id="779895" first="Chase" last="Ross"] scored about 490 points this past season at Plano West, proving himself to be a great fit for any college team in need of a bucket getter.
