Stock Risers from Week 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I attended 7 scrimmages over 6 consecutive days last week. Here are my top 8 stock risers from those contests.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1259635' first='Kyan' last='Bowman'] - St. Stephen's &amp; St. Agnes ‘24</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first thing I noticed about Bowman is that he's put in the work to get into terrific shape for his senior year. His body has transformed! Bowman is best when he's getting to the basket and finishing through contact. He is a threat from three who is a good passer and also a menace on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1370495' first='Jack' last='Corrigan'] - Jackson-Reed ‘25</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Corrigan is a dead-eye shooter for the Tigers. Expect him to provide value as a floor spacer throughout the winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1598815' first='Riley' last='Costello'] - St. Mary's ‘24</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Costello is a lefty big man who is willing to work for the sake of the team. The lefty is relentless on the glass, will grab boards out of his area, and play solid interior defense. Costello has a soft touch from the foul line and mid range. He has some go-to moves to get shots off the dribble, and can dunk from the vert as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2242132' first='Nigel' last='Harris'] - Oxon Hill ‘24</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harris is a good all-around guard prospect who handles the ball, competes defensively, makes shots, and is a thoughtful passer. He is a crafty finisher with either hand. Harris has good strength, and sneaky quickness. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1259546' first='Jamari' last='Hodnett'] - Bishop Ireton ‘24</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hodnett is a very vigilant defender who applies relentless pressure on the ball. He'll pick your pocket if you're not confident. Hodnett is a deflection machine who plays solid help defense. I like how he uses ball fakes to keep defenses off balance while in possession offensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2242418' first='Jack' last='Lloyd'] - Flint Hill ‘24</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lloyd is an automatic shooter from 15 feet. He has some moves that help him create space so he can get to his spots and rise up. Lloyd is also a smart cutter. He will also get you some deflections on defense in part because of his 6'4-6'5 frame. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2231905' first='Jeremiah' last='Smith'] - Oxon Hill ‘24</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is a sneaky athlete with good length. He has good fundamentals in terms of using shot fakes and staying disciplined defensively without fouling. Smith is still far from his ceiling but can be expected to be a consistent producer for the Clippers this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1371868' first='Marlon' last='Williams'] - Loyola Blakefield '25</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams is a broad-shouldered, point guard with good physical tools. He has incredible defensive potential and the willingness to compete on every possession. Williams gives zero air space on the ball. He'll block a shot a swell. Offensively, he is a reliable playmaker who has burst with the ball. Williams passes with either hand, runs ball screens effectively, and is an efficient shooter who doesn't force.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
