2024 Rankings Stock Risers Upstate NY Edition

A look at some of the hottest players in the 2024 class that have begun to make major waves across Upstate NY. 4. 6’5 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1362417" first="Mason" last="Blackwood"] At 6’5, [player_tooltip player_id="1362417" first="Mason" last="Blackwood"] has shown the ability to change games in every aspect. A knockdown shooter off the catch with the ability to put the ball down and hit a midrange pullup. He can and will guard every position on the floor, making him a valuable piece on both sides. Just recently picked up an offer from Siena and has a huge summer awaiting. 13. 6’7 PF [player_tooltip player_id="1195572" first="Andreo" last="Ash"] Ash is currently one of the most fundamental big guys in NYS and probably has some of the best footwork out of any kid I have seen his age. An active rebounder who finishes exceptionally well around the rim also can step outside and knock down jump shots every so often. Currently has offers from Bryant and Stony Brook with interest from some other division 1 schools in the area. 16. 6’4 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1326746" first="Isaiah" last="Henderson"] [player_tooltip player_id="1326746" first="Isaiah" last="Henderson"] has been a flat-out offensive superstar all season long. One of the best shooters in all of NY with the ability to take defenders off the bounce and finish above the rim as well. Henderson attracts a ton of attention on a nightly basis and has complete trust in those around him. What impresses most is his unselfishness. He understands how to find the open guy when he’s attracting double teams. 19. 6’3 CG [player_tooltip player_id="1379230" first="Khorie" last="Reaves"] A high-flying wing who will put anyone on a poster any night. [player_tooltip player_id="1379230" first="Khorie" last="Reaves"] has the ability to change any game he plays in with his freakish athleticism. He is tough to stay in front of a quick first step and constantly makes the right decisions when the ball is in his hands. He is extremely dangerous in transition, and when the ball is in his hands going downhill, you can almost be guaranteed two points. 23. 6’2 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1379224" first="Jaiden" last="Harrison"] Harrison is a known scorer in Buffalo, already eclipsing the 1,000 as a sophomore. A three-level scorer who isn’t afraid to take any shot on the floor. What’s most impressive is his consistency as a sophomore that every team gameplans against on a nightly basis. Harrison will be one of the few players to join the 2,000 point club before finishing his high school career.
