2027 Rankings Top 25: Stock-Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2027 rankings update just dropped and to kick off our analysis we're taking a look at some of the top stock-risers in the top 25. These guys all have the talent to be among the best in their class as their high school careers progress and represent a promising crop of players entering their sophomore seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140846"],"_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-671aa2ee90240"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ili-Meneese cracks the top 10 in this update because he flashes tremendous upside as an athletic scoring guard. He has the explosiveness off the bounce to win with first steps, create separation both north/south and east/west, and finish with power and elusiveness at the rim. He's showing all the signs of developing into a potent all-around scorer down the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2116694"],"_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-671aa2ee902be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top playmakers in his class, Collier has continued to upgrade his decision-making and outside shooting to compliment his electric on-ball presence. He demonstrates exceptional body control, balance, and creativity when attacking the paint, leaving defenders continually guessing what his next move will be. He'll be one of the leaders on a younger Lincoln squad 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":["2391501"],"_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-671aa2ee90322"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Haselrig is a promising prospect who has shown a lot to like early on. He has good hands on both ends of the court; catching passes inside, blocking shots at the rim. He's a focused finisher inside, shows good awareness moving around the paint without the ball, and is a strong rebounder. He also has a lot of potential with his outside shot and should be a name who continues to rise up the ranks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140805"],"_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-671aa2ee90377"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stevenson's a big kid who's displayed some powerful finishing both working in close and out in transition. Besides power and athleticism, he's shown great growth handling the rock, knocking down jumpers, and learning how to attack from different spots. He should be a big piece for Olympia this season and is rapidly growing his IQ on the court.</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":["2140811"],"_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-671aa2ee903d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's an interesting prospect who shows a lot of versatility for a kid who's 6-foot-7 and seems to keep growing. He possesses an all-around skill set that allows him to play multiple positions and start from the perimeter or move about the paint. He handles the ball well and shows elements of a natural playmaker, has some innate finishing ability on the go, and can even stretch the floor at times. He'll be a key guy to watch at Bellevue Christian this season who could take a big step forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140837"],"_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-671aa2ee90426"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Matt has a pretty smooth offensive profile that includes the handle to get separation along the perimeter, a very promising long-range shot, and some smart finishing moves at the hoop. He could step up to be a key depth piece at Seattle Prep this season and has all the skills to make the leap toward being a main guy for the Panthers once this 2025 class of players graduates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
