Stock Rising Guards/Wings in the New 2026 Rankings

Prep Hoops Missouri released its newly updated Class of 2026 rankings this week. Here is a look at a group of top stock risers from the guard position in the new rankings.    An athletic 6'4" guard who led the Cardinals to a berth in the Class 4 state championship game. He is a dynamic three-level scorer who also has the ability to rise up and throw down dunks on anyone at any time. He creates off the dribble and he can also get his offense off the ball with good movement. His statewide coming out party came in the state semifinals when he scored 34 points in a victory over Logan-Rogersville. He averaged 20 points and five rebounds a game while shooting 51 percent from the field and 35 percent from 3-point range.     A 6'3" guard who put together a big season in leading Pembroke Hill to a district championship and a berth in the Class 5 state quarterfinals. He has deep shooting range from behind the arc plus he also has dynamic athleticism to play above the rim. After being a sixth man on a Final Four team two seasons ago, he had blossomed into a primary scoring threat. He averaged 18.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.5 steals a game.     A 6'3" guard who is one of the top players in the St. Charles area. He is a dynamic two-way performer who plays with an extremely high motor. He is an excellent slashing threat who operated well in traffic and can score through contact. As a junior, he averaged 15 points, six rebounds and two assists a game while shooting 46 percent from the field.     A talented 5'10" point guard who is one of the top players in the SEMO area. He has continued to step up his game each season, including this year when he led the Indians to a third-place finish in the Class 2 state tournament. He is the right combination of being a floor leader who distributes the ball along with a dangerous bucket-getter with 3-point shooting range. He knocked 90 triples as he shot 39 percent from the field. He averaged 21 points, three rebounds and three assists a game.     A 6'1" guard who is arguably the most physical backcourt player in the state. When he decides to put his head down and get downhill to the basket on the drive, there is very little a defender can do about it. As a junior, he averaged 22 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals while shooting 55 percent from the field.
