2026 Player Rankings: Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With 166 players, there are bound to be players that saw their rankings drop, but also players that saw their stock rise.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were 22 new players and here are some of the stock risers. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are 8 stock risers from the last two months:&nbsp;</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1620346' first='Josh' last='McManaway'] <strong>McClintock </strong>+74</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quickly growing scoring guard with real range and a very quick shooting trigger. He grew in size and confidence. He will most likely start on varsity and possibly be one of their go-to players for the next few years. His three point stroke and size to get to the basket makes him the big stock riser. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1834650' first='Jelani' last='McCoy'] <strong>Dream City Christian</strong> +38 </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A tough two-way defensive scoring guard had a good showing on the EYBL. He scored it from downhill, made perimeter jumpers from mid to the three point line but plays aggressively on defense with good size and length. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1832786' first='Marcus' last='Murray']<strong> Sunrise Mountain</strong> +34</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure point guard guides his team every game. He backed up a senior last year and now it is his time to shine and lead them into the playoffs. He is a very physical on-ball defender and uses his tight handle and speed to get past his defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1482211' first='Noah' last='Gloor'] <strong>Higley (Pictured)</strong> +33</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A sniping lead guard can score the ball with deep range. He is tough and fearless despite his size. He can facilitate for his teammates with up the court passes and drive and kicks plus will slither into the lane with a quicker burst. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1445948' first='Brandon' last='Stapleton'] <strong>Chandler </strong>+24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker combo guard with a scorers mentality. The lefty can hit the three off the catch, get into the paint with a good first step and score thru contact with his frame. He rebounds the ball well and scores on put backs. He can still find teammates in stride as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1893708' first='Prince' last='Cash'] <strong>Carl Hayden </strong>+21</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and athletic wing forward who will defend. He will play inside defensively to rebound, block shots and then can switch onto a guard with quick feet and good length. He runs the break well in transition and will score getting downhill. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1464982' first='Miles' last='Sadler'] <strong>Dream City Christian</strong> +19</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A dynamic scoring point guard with some serious speed. He has speed with and without the ball. He can blow past his defenders and get to the rim, hit the three and he is becoming a phenomenal passer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1875720' first='Sergio' last='Gonzales'] <strong>Deer Valley</strong> +16</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The lefty scoring facilitator had a good off-season to get ready for June ball. He caught some headlines of top 15U players and he scored it from all levels plus is a fearless on-ball defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
