2022 Rankings Update: Stock Risers Pt. 2

<ol start="54"> <li><strong> 6-3 CG [player_tooltip player_id="870174" first="Makaleb" last="McBride"] – Robert Toombs<br /> <em>(Up from No. 74)</em></strong></li> </ol> <p>A silky-smooth southpaw from the GISA, [player_tooltip player_id="870174" first="Makaleb" last="McBride"] always seems to produce. He’s a gifted slasher that finishes by using his hangtime to avoid shot blockers. McBride can drill the three and is a smart playmaker when getting downhill. He has a good nose for the ball on defense. There’s not much that McBride doesn’t excel at.</p> <ol start="56"> <li><strong> 6-2 CG Julius King Jr. – FPD<br /> <em>(Up from No. 79)</em></strong></li> </ol> <p>One of the best isolation scorers in the class, Jay King is a nightmare when on an island. He has combo dribble moves that freeze defenders and allow him to either get to the rim or pull up with his jump shot. King routinely nails difficult threes off the dribble and can be unguardable when in a zone.</p> <ol start="62"> <li><strong> 6-5 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1130591" first="Brayden" last="Baker"] – Richmond Hill<br /> <em>(Up from No. 80)</em></strong></li> </ol> <p>With graduation hitting Richmond Hill, look for [player_tooltip player_id="1130591" first="Brayden" last="Baker"] to be the unquestioned go-to guy his senior year. He’s a big guard with an accurate outside shot. He’s really good at using his body, able to score in the middle of the defense using turn around jumpers. Baker is a strong finisher and has sneaky good court vision as a passer.</p> <ol start="63"> <li><strong> 6-8 C [player_tooltip player_id="1043320" first="Emeka" last="Iloh"] – McIntosh<br /> <em>(Up from No. 118)</em></strong></li> </ol> <p>Expect [player_tooltip player_id="1043320" first="Emeka" last="Iloh"] to make up for lost time and remind everybody who he is after a lost junior season. Iloh is a springy big man that rebounds well and protects the rim with authority. On offense, he runs the floor and can catch and finish in one motion. Iloh tries to dunk everything inside.</p> <ol start="69"> <li><strong> 5-11 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1133904" first="Malachi" last="Dooley"] – Habersham Central<br /> <em>(Up from No. 85)</em></strong></li> </ol> <p>It’s not easy to average 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in arguably one of the best regions in the entire state, but Mali Dooley did so. He’s a smart guard with a quick first step. He understands how to use his body to draw contact when getting to the hoop. Dooley is a scrappy defender and an overall reliable floor leader.</p> <ol start="78"> <li><strong> 6-3 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1050046" first="Ahmed" last="Soumahoro"] – Berkmar<br /> <em>(Up from No. 150)</em></strong></li> </ol> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1050046" first="Ahmed" last="Soumahoro"] has served as a rotation player in his high school career, but he looks ready to see key minutes his senior season. He’s a freakish athlete that can do a little bit of everything. He chips in on the glass, he makes plays on defense and of course, he provides highlights at the rim. Soumahoro is more than just a slasher however. He’s a really good three-point shooter that helps space the floor.</p> <ol start="81"> <li><strong> 6-7 PF [player_tooltip player_id="1130592" first="Yannis" last="Woods"] – Jonesboro<br /> <em>(Up from No. 121)</em></strong></li> </ol> <p>You don’t have to worry about effort from high motor big man [player_tooltip player_id="1130592" first="Yannis" last="Woods"]. He’s an active and athletic long forward that runs the floor and rebounds. He will need to add some wight for the next level, but Woods has upside as a four-man. Woods uses his length to block shots and ignite fast breaks. If he’s able to work on his ball handling and outside shot, he could be a combo-forward at the next level.</p>
