<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The class of 2027 has some highly talented preps throughout the Prep Hoops rankings list. Within that list, there have been players who impressed as they played during the travel season. These preps are the players who raised their stock and moved up the rankings. In this Prep Hoops LA rankings review, we will take a look at prominent stock risers and their movement up the rankings list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532381"],"_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-670939428e2f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Buckner is a guard who looks longer and taller than his 5'11 frame. He has long arms which help him on the floor when it comes to rebounding. His rangy limbs also help when he spots up for the corner three. Buckner has a quick and fluid release which is hard to block. He has become a guard who can score and do other things. That is the very reason his stock has risen in the rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132747"],"_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-670939428e34d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ian has played at a high level during the summer and showcase season. Whether it was with his team on the Puma circuit or his high school team in June, Edmond showed up big time. Ian is a guard who can change ends in a hurry. He can stay low with the dribble and explode to the basket to score. His play constantly puts defenses on their heels. He is definitely a 2027 stock riser. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421312"],"_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-6709433ae1262"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lavalais left a big impression on the prep scene in Louisiana by helping his team capture a state title (Marksville). His play during the showcase season has continued to be top notch and has his stock rising in this class. Lavalais can facilitate and score. He is a lead guard who is adept at getting into the lane and making the right play. His play and stock will only continue to rise this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132733"],"_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-6709433ae12a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The St. Michael guard is one of the most explosive transition players in his class. Levingston is very good when it comes to forcing turnovers and releasing on the wing. When he is on the wing, if he gets the pass the bucket is almost guaranteed. Levingston plays very good man-to-man defense and creates problems for guards he defends. His finishing ability and defensive prowess are why his stock is up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132729"],"_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-6709433ae12e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Turner has the capability and skill set to be a top five player in this class. He is like a Swiss Army knife on the floor. Austin plays both ends with high energy and athleticism. He has the talent to defend a forward in the paint and switch out to a small guard. On offense, he can lead the break, run a half court set, or run off screens and spot up. Turner is multi-talented and has a high stock ceiling. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Subscribe to Prep Hoops Louisiana and discover what other players are ranked and are rising through the rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
