Playoff Stock Risers: Class of 2021

The best way to help your stock rise is to play against top talent at the highest stage. Here are a few players that helped their stock rise based on their playoff performance.

6’2 Kaleb Furey, Westlake High School

Kaleb has been a sleeper mainly because ehe plays on a team that has so much balance. The first thing that stands out about Kaleb’s game is his athletic bounce. This kid can fly. It never gets old because he isn’t very big but he can get up and throw it down. He is s a problem in the open floor. He plays at such a high pace that he is difficult to slow down. Besides his bounce, Kaleb can shoot the ball really well from deep. He is a good passer and he is elite moving without the basketball. He would be a huge find at the NWAC level, but he has the talent to play at a higher level. 

6’5 Tyson Hawkins Tyson Hawkins 6'4" | PG Lehi | 2021 State UT , Lehi High School

Although many might think Tyson is a wing or an off-guard he is naturally a PG. With two other players on the team that can handle the ball extremely well he tended to just run PG when needed. Tyson can play all three positions. This is a plus when it comes to recruiting because he can move around. Tyson can improve on a lot of aspects of his game that is already good. 

6’4 Ben Krystowiak Ben Krystowiak 6'4" | CG Brighton | 2021 State UT , Olympus High School

Ben is just all-around good. He has great size at the PG position or off-guard position. He can shoot the ball well enough and he is crafty and uses great angles going to the basket. Ben also has elite vision and knows where to find players and he makes great passes. Solid defender at the other end as well. 

6’0 Jordan Toscano Jordan Toscano 6'1" | PG Bingham | 2021 State UT , Bingham High School

Jordan knows how to run the PG position as he runs up and down the floor with a purpose. He can play off the ball and work his way toward sth ball. When he has the ball he changes speeds really well and he keeps his defenders off balance. when it comes to hitting shots at the mid-range position, there might not be many players that can do what he does. He also does a great job at drawing out bigs and creating lanes to pass the ball to cutters at the rim. He has improved his outside shooting to go along with his many tools. 

6’5 Zab Santana Zab Santana 6'5" | CG Cedar City | 2022 State UT , Cedar City High School

Zab really showed a side of his game that we haven’t really seen before. He was scoring at all three levels and his size was bothering everyone that was guarding him. He was defending and rebounding. Zab really runs the floor well and he gets wide out on the break but also knows when to rim run. He has a quick first step and even when he is met by a defender he is able to physical his way to a scoring position.
