Jr 76ers Tournament Series- 2022 Stock Risers

<p>As the summer officially rolls in, some of the tri-states under-the-radar players are heating up. Memorial Day weekend brought many teams to the Spooky Nook Complex to compete in the Jr 76ers Tournament Series. Here were some of the stock risers in the class of 2022. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4078-rotated.jpg"><strong>Dante Ashford-G-2022-Lancaster McCaskey High School</strong></a><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4078-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-1204465 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4078-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p> <p>Dante is a 6’1, 180 pound guard who plays with a ton of grit and under control. He does a great job seeing the floor and finding his teammates for easy baskets. Dante can make shots behind the arc and he can finish plays with contact around the basket. On defense, he does a good job staying in front of his opponent. During the tournament, he was slowed down by a knee injury, but that didn’t stop him from competing. If he continues to work on his quickness and strength, I can see him playing the next level in multiple D2-D3 systems. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4083-rotated.jpg"><strong>Justice Easter-G-2022-Central Dauphin High School</strong></a><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4083-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-1204472 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4083-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p> <p>Justice is a 6’4, 185 pound guard who can handle the ball, shoot behind the arc, and finish above the rim. He runs the floor well and always finds himself around the ball, whether its a loose ball or a rebound. On defense, he moves his feet, has good awareness, and rebounds the ball well. He can guard the 1-4 positions. If he continues to build upper body strength and work on creating space on his jump shot, he will fit into many D2-D3 schools.      </p> <p><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4075-rotated.jpg">[player_tooltip player_id="1121750" first="Donovan" last="Hill"]-F-2022-Central Dauphin High School</a></strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4075-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-1204475 " src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4075-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="134" height="134" /></a></p> <p>Donovan is a 6’8, 215 pound wing who can cover all positions. He is very long and athletic. He shoots efficiently behind the arc, finishes above the rim, and can make mid range shots. On defense, he is disruptive with his size and length. If he continues to work on his stamina, and upper body strength, he will be a nice guard or small forward on a D1-D2 roster.   </p> <p><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4073-1-rotated.jpg">Max Masey-G-2022-Central Dauphin High School</a></strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4073-1-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-1204477 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/IMG_4073-1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p> <p>Max is a 6’0, 190 pound guard who is very strong and athletic. On offense, he handles the ball and can finish above the rim. On defense, he is very physical and has good stamina. He also rebounds the ball well. If he continues to work on his 3-point and mid-range shot, he will be able to compete on the D2-D3 level. </p>
