For my final article from the Big Drip Hoops Stock Rise Showcase, I'm going to go over some of the top offensive players at the event and what made them so special with the ball in their hands. Here are some of the top scorers and shooters from the showcase.   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top Scorers</h3>   [player_tooltip player_id='1551651' first='Zach' last='Luz'] Mt Rainier   Obviously works on his game as a guy who's not too big (6-foot-1) or overly athletic, but was still able to score from every level with efficiency and under tight defense.   [player_tooltip player_id='1450980' first='Martin' last='Kaupanger'] Annie Wright   Athletic and powerful at the rim, patient on the perimeter and the final knife came with his 3-point shooting. It was pretty much pick your poison with Kaupanger on Saturday.   [player_tooltip player_id='1696634' first='Jackson' last='Pepper'] Selah   One of the more aggressive players getting downhill also showed some good change of pace and ability to spin off of defenders inside to create space.   [player_tooltip player_id='1450568' first='Mason' last='Thomas'] Federal Way   Strong guard who plays through reaches and swipes, can absorb and create contact inside to get to the foul line, and sets it all up with the ability to hit from downtown.   [player_tooltip player_id='1485561' first='Dayne' last='Cardoza'] Ingraham   Quick, shifty guard who was getting to the rim consistently and showed the ability to hit from tough angles and use some hangtime to finish in traffic and under duress. Ended up hitting the game-winning shot in the championship game.   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top Shooters</h3>   [player_tooltip player_id='1434525' first='Blake' last='Stempniak'] Kentwood   Came out blazing from three. Couldn't miss and wasn't going to move off the line until someone really ran him off. Shot over the top of closeouts and was ready each and every time he caught.   [player_tooltip player_id='1984492' first='Aman' last='Sterling'] Inglemoor   I knew Sterling could shoot but the way he got his shots at the showcase was really impressive. Did a lot more off the bounce than I'm used to seeing from him and showed off the handle and size to consistently get open in the mid-range to drain shots.   [player_tooltip player_id='1463070' first='Jaymon' last='Wright'] Meadowdale   He's got a high-arching shot and some good length to get his shot off under tight contests. He's the type of guy who's known for shooting and scoring but also has a nice handle from handling some point duties that plays into him creating space off the dribble.   [player_tooltip player_id='1450568' first='Mason' last='Thomas'] Federal Way   Doubling back on Thomas again, he is a supremely confident shooter from long-range and was pretty effective again at the showcase. He can get to the rim but if you give him space he has no qualms about pouring it in from long-range.   [player_tooltip player_id='1551651' first='Zach' last='Luz'] Mt Rainier   Luz is more of a "scorer" than just a "shooter" but I wanted to recognize him for his ability to hit the contested jumpers. He was blanketed multiple times throughout the showcase and was still able to hit jumpers over defenders who often had some size on him. He's able to take advantage of the smallest openings and shows incredible moxy to take and make tough shots.   [player_tooltip player_id='1450980' first='Martin' last='Kaupanger'] Annie Wright   He's an athlete at the guard spot who has the size and quickness to get inside pretty much when he wants, but was really feeling it from deep at the showcase and forced defenders to step out even further to try and quiet him from long-range.
