2024 Top Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024 rankings update is finally here with fall leagues across the Jersey Shore starting up. Players saw their stocks take a big jump over the summer, which saw them move up in the new update. Here are the top stock risers from the 2024 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1476266' first='Brave' last='Haugh'], 6'6 F Marlboro</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No player took a bigger jump in the rankings than Haugh, who moved up 51 spots. The 6'6 forward plays with great energy at both ends of the court and has a motor that doesn't stop. Haugh uses his body well to create space for himself down low and has a nice touch around the basket. He can knock down jumpers in the mid-range and is tough to box out. Haugh should have a breakout season for the Mustangs as he gets more touches in the half court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1407094' first='Shane' last='Sheehan'], 6'6 PF Westfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sheehan had a strong summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2078594' first='Unity' last='Legends'] as he went up 43 spots in the update. The 6'6 forward runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy baskets in transition. Sheehan has a good touch in the paint and is capable of drawing contact down low. He is a strong rebounder and an underrated passer. Sheehan will be the go-to guy in the post for Westfield this season, which will help his stock in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1406993' first='Anthony' last='Akande'], 6'4 SG Arts</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Akande had a huge summer for the [program_tooltip program_id='2078569' first='Jersey' last='Force'], resulting in his 38-point jump. The 6'4 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he can finish through contact around the rim. Akande knows how to get to his spot on the floor and has a nice release on his jumper. He is a good rebounder for a guard and has the athleticism to defend multiple positions on the floor. Akande is a two-way guard prospect who is only starting to scratch the surface of his potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273934' first='John' last='Kelly'], 6'3 SF Watchung Hills</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kelly made plays all summer for the Hoop Heaven Hawks Elite as he moved up 17 spots. The 6'3 wing has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Kelly moves well without the ball in his hands, setting himself up for open jumpers and layups. He has a solid handle and can knock down shots in the mid-range. Kelly's ability to knock down jumpers from behind the arc is something that will help his stock in a big way this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273931' first='Jameson' last='Ackerman'], 5'10 PG Red Bank Regional</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ackerman went up 14 spots in the update and should have a strong winter for the Buccaneers. The 5'10 lead guard has a nice handle, which he uses to get into the paint to create plays. Ackerman knows how to get his teammates involved in the half court and is an unselfish player. He has a good shooting stroke and sets his feet before he shoots. Ackerman's ability to run the offense will be key for Red Bank Regional this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Other Prospects to Know:</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1406988' first='Zyaire' last='Price'], 6'5 SF Arts</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1407082' first='Devin' last='Artis'], 5'11 PG West Side</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1153994' first='Michael' last='Van Raaphorst'], 6'3 SG Delbarton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1456828' first='Michael' last='Goodrich'], 6'6 St. John Vianney</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1154999' first='Ryan' last='Mulvaney'], 6'0 CG Manasquan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
