Early Spring: Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1479351' first='Jayce' last='Bahl'] - B&amp;B Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1479351' first='Jayce' last='Bahl'] is a lengthy 2025 forward playing up on B&amp;B Academy's 17U team. Jayce is still growing into his body but has shown great potential as it looks like he could play inside and out on the offensive end. He has a good catch-and-shoot three-point shot allowing him to pull the big men away from the paint. Jayce is an intriguing prospect I will definitely be keeping an eye on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kris Garcia - [program_tooltip program_id='2075395' first='Colorado' last='Anarchy']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kris Garcia is a crafty, scrappy 2026 guard who stands out with long flowing hair on the court. Kris can score inside and out, and he does a very good job being unpredictable near the rim. He can score both off of one or two feet and has a vast set of moves he goes to. Kris does a good job of using his pivot to create easy looks near the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1555225' first='Caiden' last='Braketa'] - B&amp;B Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1555225' first='Caiden' last='Braketa'] is a 2026 guard playing up on B&amp;B Academy's 16U team. Caiden is a very good shooter who has deep range and a quick shot release. He has a consistent shot and is someone who will make defenses pay if left open. Caiden at times can be very good at getting open, if he can consistently be a great off-ball mover that will bring his game to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1848638' first='Zayne' last='Desouza'] - Team Daum</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zayne Desozua is a bulky 6'6 forward who is an intriguing big man. Zayne has shown the ability to use his big frame to control the boards by keeping opponents on his back with strong box outs. He has shown solid instincts on the defensive end being a good help defender, not getting a ton of blocks but using his frame and length to contest and disrupt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1578217' first='Sean' last='Morton'] - Colorado [program_tooltip program_id='2080820' first='Hoops' last='Academy']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578217' first='Sean' last='Morton'] is a sharpshooter who can light up the scoreboard. Sean has a smooth jumper with a quick release. He is a smart mover off of the ball knowing when to sprint to spots and knowing when to drift. Sean has shown some potential scoring downhill, he is a 2026 scorer I will be keeping an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Daniel Mbadinga - [program_tooltip program_id='2075420' first='Colorado' last='Roughriders']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Daniel Mbadinga may have one of the highest ceilings in the state and he has shown that early this AAU season. Daniel poses great athleticism at his height allowing him to take on opponents off of the dribble. He is too skilled for many bigs to guard and too big for most wings. Daniel has gotten more comfortable and confident on the court showing off his finishing ability above the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
