Here are the top stock-risers from the 2026 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1790209' first='Ethan' last='Lin'], 6'3 PG Montgomery</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lin rose his stock the most this spring and has the potential to move up even more this summer if his play carries over. The 6'3 guard uses his handle effectively as he is able to get into the paint and finish around the basket. Lin is more than just a slasher as he has a good release on his jumper and can shoot either off the catch or bounce. He is a good passer and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Lin is a crafty, lead guard prospect who is only just starting to scratch the surface of his potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1595681' first='Jaron' last='Barnett'], 5'8 PG Immaculate Conception</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barnett has been dynamic this spring as he's shown his ability to make plays with the ball in his hands. The 5'8 point guard plays with good floor vision as he's able to find his open teammates in the half court and is a solid decision-maker. Barnett is a good finisher around the basket and has a nice touch on his floater. He can make opponents pay for giving him space on the perimeter and moves his feet well on the defensive end. Barnett's ability to run the offense effectively is something that will help his stock nicely over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1874042' first='Micah' last='Pierce'], 6'3 SG Paterson Kennedy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pierce is a guard prospect to track this summer as he has the ability to put up points in bunches. The 6'3 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Pierce is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim from the perimeter and finish nicely at the rim. He is a good rebounder for a guard and uses his athleticism to make plays on the defensive end. Pierce is a three-and-D prospect to watch in the 2026 class whose stock will rise with his ability to knock down triples.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1595666' first='Ethan' last='Mgbako'], 6'5 SF Roselle Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mgbako has the ability to play either the three or the four is something that will help his game nicely this summer. The 6'5 forward has a good face-up as he can get to the basket from the perimeter and finish nicely at the rim. Mgbako has a nice shooting stroke and his range extends out to the three-point line. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and moves well without the ball in his hands. Mgbako's ability to score inside and out is something that will help his stock in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1595770' first='Louis' last='Galasso'], 5'11 PG Cherokee</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Galasso has the potential to breakout this summer with his ability to knock down jumpers from distance. The 5'11 guard wastes little motion in his release and can bury triples in bunches. Galasso moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the halfcourt. He moves his feet well on the defensive end and is an underrated passer. Galasso's shooting is something that will be key for his game to rise over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1595764' first='Elijah' last='Williams'], 5'9 PG Hudson Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1603412' first='Keiner' last='Asprilla'], 6'11 C Don Bosco Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1919207' first='Brameer' last='Long'], 5'8 PG Sterling</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1919205' first='A'Zon' last='Young'], 6'3 SF Audubon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1919204' first='Alex' last='Daniel'], 6'2 SF Wildwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
