<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2025 rankings update is finally here with over 200 prospects being ranked. Players move up and down the rankings every update and this one is no different. Here are the top stock-risers from the 2025 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1413216' first='Cristian' last='Nicholson'], 5'7 PG Morris Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nicholson jumped up the most of any prospect in the rankings as he went up 45 spots in the update. The 5'7 guard has a good handle, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and makes plays in the paint. Nicholson finishes in a variety of ways around the basket and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He plays with good floor vision and gets deflections on the defensive end. Nicholson is a true, floor general whose ability to run the offense effectively will help his stock to continue to rise over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1773149' first='Kevin' last='Pikiell'], 6'3 SG CBA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pikiell had a big junior season for the Colts, which resulted in him moving up 28 spots in the rankings. The 6'3 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the rim and can make shots through contact. Pikiell can also score in the mid-range and rarely forces bad shots in the halfcourt. He is an underrated passer and slides his feet on the defensive end. Pikiell is a gritty guard prospect whose ability to make plays on both ends of the floor will help his game in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1943555' first='Quinn' last='Gibson'], 6'4 SF Cherry Hill West</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gibson had a breakout junior campaign, which resulted in him going up 24 spots in the update. The 6'4 wing uses his handle effectively, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can finish in a variety of ways around the basket. Gibson is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He works for rebounds on both ends of the floor and is an underrated defender. Gibson had nine games of at least 25 points in 2023-24 and should eclipse that mark in 2024-25.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1456864' first='Myles' last='Parker'], 6'7 SG Rutgers Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parker moved up 19 spots in the rankings as he showed his ability to make plays at both ends of the floor. The 6'7 lefty has a smooth shooting stroke and can knock down triples in bunches. Parker moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself up for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated rebounder. Parker is a sharpshooting wing prospect who should continue to torch the nets from distance over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1472514' first='Aiden' last='Ur'], 6'4 PG St. Thomas Aquinas</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ur jumped up 19 spots in the update as he showed the ability to score inside and out. The 6'4 guard uses his size to see over his defender and rises up with confidence on his jumper. Ur is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finish. He moves well without the ball in his hands and has the potential to defend multiple positions on the floor. Ur is a talented guard prospect who should continue his strong play during the spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Know:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1823214' first='Shelton' last='Colwell'], 6'5 SF Arts</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2119096' first='Mason' last='Mangione'], 6'3 SG Glen Rock</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1943563' first='Zach' last='Patteta'], 6'5 PF Watchung Hills</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1123937' first='Isaac' last='Moore'], 6'7 PF Life Center Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1483440' first='Declan' last='Wucherpfennig'], 6'7 PF Bergen Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
