Stock Risers: 2024 & 2025 Glass Cleaners

White is a very different type of player than most of the other rebounders on this list. He’s thinner, more athletic, and is able to play on the wings or outside. His offensive game is still raw but he’s an aggressive rebounder that can get putbacks and limit the oppositions second chance opportunities. White also has some long arms and is a good enough shot blocker that players driving to the rim have to consider. This season should be a good opportunity for the springy wing to develop his offensive game and continue to grow his skills at rim.

Wilson is a big kid that gets good position inside and shows a soft touch with the baby hook. Every time I’ve watched him play he’s had a pretty decent height advantage, and plays aggressive defending the rim, working through multiple defenders and pushing his way toward rebounds. I’m interested to see how he’ll handle bigger competition, but he has shown some good fight and the potential to be a bruiser inside. He’ll get some run this season for a Tumwater team that has high aspirations and could really use Wilson as a catalyst off the bench.

Yearout is riding low under the radar, putting up just 2.2 points and 4.9 rebounds per game last season. While the big man won’t wow you on the offensive end, he has some real appeal defensively clogging the paint and cleaning glass. At 6’8 he has the size to protect the rim and won’t get pushed out of position inside, but Yearout also moves fairly well for a player of his stature and can guard from block to block. He is a specialty player but if you need size and someone who can defend and rebound, Yearout is a solid player to fill those holes. There will be more opportunities for him this season as Raymond loses a handful of players including their top scorer, Tre Seydel, who put up almost 30 PPG last year.

Staymates is a big kid at 6’7 and looks like a player that could change a lot over the course of his career. He is still pretty raw both physically and technically, but he plays with the right mindset to succeed in the frontcourt and shows good touch out to the elbows. He has no hesitation taking shots around the paint and hits them with consistency. He’s a good shooter from the line too and has a good work rate on the boards. For Staymates, I think a lot of his development will hinge on his ability to physically mature, quicken those feet up, and get some more moves inside to capitalize on his nice touch in close.

Nathan Knapik looks like he will be replacing the older Knapik (Ayden) in the starting lineup this winter. He has a very similar game, works to stay in good position on both ends of the floor, preps for dump offs from driving guards and stays ready for rebounds. He’s a big kid with some good strength to him and does everything you need from your frontcourt guys. He will be a key guy for Kennewick this season and could average close to a double-double with his combo of strength, effort, and touch in close.

There are some spots opening up in the starting frontcourt for defending 1A champions Lynden Christian this season and Stuit should be one of the main beneficiaries. He’s a stout kid with good size and strength that also adds decent athleticism to the hardwood. He is a pretty fundamental player, setting hard screens, working on the glass, and bringing some versatility on defense that helps on screens and switches. He can defend the rim a little bit and is able to fight through contact on offense to finish tough shots inside. Stuit will give the Lyncs a physical look up front, pairing with Jeremiah Wright Jeremiah Wright 6'6″ | PF Lynden Christian | 2024 State WA this winter.
