Junior Player Rankings: Stock Risers

With 201 players, there are bound to be players that saw their rankings drop, but also players that saw their stock rise.    There were 51 new players and here are some of the stock risers.      <h2>Here are 12 stock risers after the HS season: </h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='1483886' first='Landon' last='Brewer'] Boulder Creek +95   A bigger off guard can shoot it. He may not be a name that people know all too well. but he was a big part of their success. He has grown in the last year or so and he slings it just as well as anyone in the class from the three point line. He uses his size to rebound and score inside.   [player_tooltip player_id='1306044' first='Jake' last='Centner'] Flagstaff +84   Another player off the radar that caught my eye in the PrepHoops Top 250 EXPO. He also showed it with his stats. He went from only 2.8ppg to nearly 14ppg with 6 rebounds and 2 assists. He is long and lean and has some sneaky athleticism. He can shoot it from the three point line and put a little more weight on him, he will be even harder to handle next season.   [player_tooltip player_id='1178305' first='Yak' last='Ngang'] Pueblo +71   I watched some film on this one. He is a versatile point forward type with good passing skills and defensive versatility. He will defend multiple positions and he played the Robin to [player_tooltip player_id='1178304' first='Isaiah' last='Hill']'s Batman. He can hit the three but usually scores on cuts and put backs. His court vision and length on defense separates him from many.   [player_tooltip player_id='996169' first='Cori' last='James'] Desert Vista +50   I saw him recently at a showcase and he is shaping up more and more. He grew up on the gridiron but is transitioning to the hardwood. He still has that football build and strength but what stands out is his skill. He can rattle off triples in a hurry and get to the rim with his strong frame.   [player_tooltip player_id='1312333' first='Kenny' last='White'] St. Mary's +30   A hard nosed undersized scoring lead guard is tough and fearless. He has been in a lot of big games and he has found his groove playing off of [player_tooltip player_id='994006' first='Styles' last='Phipps']. The lefty shoots the three well but has a sneaky burst to get into the lane and will defend the ball with his grit.   [player_tooltip player_id='1131991' first='Will' last='Zanoni'] Basha +30   The lefty sharp shooter had a breakout year. He knows who he is and that is the floor spacer for the Bears. He has a clean stroke and can get open moving without the ball. His three point shot has good ball rotation and he will be relied on even more next year without Bosch.   [player_tooltip player_id='1494969' first='Owen' last='Bell'] ALA-Gilbert North +30   A long and lean wing forward who quietly had a very good year. There has to always be a reason a team is the #1 seed of any conference. Outside of their standout guards, Bell made a nice leap up with his scoring, rebounding and athleticism. He can shoot it from the perimeter plus dunk it. He moves well in space and rebounds at a good clip.   [player_tooltip player_id='1231502' first='Bryce' last='Anderson'] Phoenix Christian +30   One of the most explosive athletes in the class that most are not aware of. He has great length and takes long strides to the rim. He is way above the rim finisher and can shoot. He will hit threes off the catch and give shot fakes and get to the basket. He will defend the 3-5 for the smaller team.   [player_tooltip player_id='996174' first='Bo' last='Dolinsek'] Corona del Sol +28   A thicker power forward with a high skill level. He has very good hands to catch tough passes in the paint among other post players and has post moves to utilize plus has a feathery touch out to the three point line. He will definitely be "the guy" next year that the defenses have to stop.   [player_tooltip player_id='996175' first='Barron' last='Silsby'] Perry +24   One of the better junior catch and shoot three point shooters in the 2024 class. He squares up like you should and can get hot in a hurry. He played perfectly off of Cody and Koa and was always shot ready and constantly moved to open spots on the floor.   [player_tooltip player_id='1490882' first='Austin' last='Kraemer'] NVCA +22   A very skilled wing forward with a strap. He can catch and shoot effortlessly. He has a quick release and it looks good most attempts. He can take a ball off the glass and push the pace with a nice handle. The 1A Champs can win it again next year behind Austin and co.   [player_tooltip player_id='1239568' first='Keith' last='Kabega'] Estrella Foothills +19   A top-notch on-ball defender is a true disruptor in the passing lanes and versus opposing point or off guards. He plays fast on the break and usually makes the correct read to a teammate for an assist. He rebounds the ball at a high rate for his size and gains steals and deflections with his active hands and feet.

With 201 players, there are bound to be players that saw their rankings drop, but also players that saw their stock rise.
