2026 Stock-Riser Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out this group of versatile wings and frontcourt players who have some high potential as some of the top forwards in their class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1863196"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667235056c6e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was blown away by his progress this spring and summer. Harris showed a lot of promise last season and has tapped into a whole other level of his game. He looks extremely confident, controlled, and is impacting the game in tons of new ways. He's still an excellent 3-point shooter and rim defender, but Harris has really improved his ballhandling and ability to attack off the bounce. He'll be a player to watch who has already picked up an offer this spring from Portland State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1685504"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667235056c79a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Gonzaga Prep forward is a strong kid who can use that big body to seal off lanes and work his way to the hoop. He has a nice foundation of ball skills to go along with his outstanding outside shot and has really started to incorporate a more diverse approach offensively that has allowed him to attack from more areas. He's got some pretty good vision as a distributor too and should help the Bullpups stay near the top of the Greater Spokane League again this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1863246"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667235056c7e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Both Morningstar and his Praire squad took a big step forward last season, and Morningstar has continued to build on that with more progress through the spring and summer. He's a big, strong post who's added a couple of inches and continues to exhibit great footwork and strength down low. He's quickly becoming one of the better finesse threats on the blocks who can power through players inside and finish with soft touch from all around the rim. He's a kid who gives all signs he'll continue to improve and should be in for a big winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2021636"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667235056c820"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bell has really blossomed physically in the last year and his athleticism on the wings is really starting to show. He's getting in more work off the dribble, attacking gaps, and finishing at the rim strong, but he also has a nice midrange shot he can go to. He's a kid who could make a big impact as he moves over to Olympia for next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2383155"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667235056c85b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walker is another player who has started to show big potential this spring after flying a little under the radar last season. He has a diverse offensive game with his combo of outside shooting and smooth footwork around the paint. He's best playing from the wings, working guys off the dribble, and creating openings with his footwork and ball fakes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
