2026 Rankings Update: Top Stock-Risers Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 rankings update was filled with so many stock-risers that one article was not enough. Here are even more stock-risers from the 2026 rankings update.</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 moved up seven spots in the update as he showed his ability to score inside and out. The 6'5 forward has a good face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and finish through contact. Mgbako has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He works hard on the defensive end and moves well without the ball in his hands. Mgbako is a gritty forward prospect whose ability to make plays at both ends of the floor will help his stock in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1595767' first='Javion' last='Cesar-Jones'], 6'3 PG Trenton Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cesar-Jones more than doubled his offensive output from his freshman season, which resulted in him jumping up the rankings. The 6'3 guard has a good first step, which he uses to get by his man and finish around the rim. Cesar-Jones uses his size to see over his defender and can also score in the mid-range. He uses his length to get deflections on the defensive end and has the ability to play off the ball as well. Cesar-Jones is a long, guard prospect who should continue to rise his stock this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2148602' first='Eric' last='Hillsman'], 6'7 SF Roselle Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hillsman showed the ability to play closer to the basket this season, which helped his development in a big way. The 6'7 lefty explodes off the floor for dunks and is able to draw contact around the basket. Hillsman uses his handle to get into the paint and rises up over his defender on his jumper. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his combination of timing and athleticism to swat shots around the rim. Hillsman is a long, forward prospect whose ability to finish at the rim and swat shots will help him over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1595685' first='Jehki' last='Burnam'], 6'4 SF Linden</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Burnam had a big season for the Tigers as he was a consistent threat on the perimeter for them. The 6'4 wing has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Burnam is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He moves well without the ball in his hands and is a strong rebounder. If Burnam can continue his sharpshooting in the spring and summer, then his stock will continue to rise over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107954' first='Charlie' last='Marcoullier'], 5'10 CG CBA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marcoullier established himself as a trusted shooter on the perimeter for the Colts as he helped them to an 18-7 record in 2023-24. The 5'10 lefty has a clean shooting stroke and needs little space to get his shot off. Marcoullier can also score in the mid-range and is an underrated passer. He slides his feet on the defensive end and has the ability to play off the ball as well. Marcoullier had seven games last season with at least three made triples and should eclipse that mark in the 2024-25 season.</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='1919206' first='Maji' last='Dixon'], 5'10 PG Newark Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107994' first='Jude' last='Berman'], 5'9 PG Hopewell Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342647' first='Rashawn' last='Williams'], 6'3 SF Plainfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342645' first='Kamai' last='Lowery'], 6'1 SG Plainfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342605' first='Trevor' last='Whitaker'], 6'4 SG Union</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
