<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With 355 players, there are bound to be players that saw their rankings drop, but also players that saw their stock rise.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were 57 new players and here are some of the stock risers. We actually had probably close to 40 players that saw their stock rise but&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the top 8 PF/C stock risers since March:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1633033' first='Jackson' last='Heim'] <strong>Seton Catholic (Pictured) </strong>+51</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A skilled face-up forward who can play both positions up front. He made the move from St. Mary's and he is one of the reasons that Seton Catholic is a team that can make a deep run in 3A. He shoots it from the three plus from mid-range and brings energy to defend and rebound. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2384135' first='Tyrell' last='Curry Jr'] <strong>West Point</strong> +30</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big man in the West Valley is moving a little more fluidly and seems lighter on his toes. He rebounds in and out of his area and will hold his ground in the paint with good strength and size. He will score it effectively around the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2387517' first='Jachin' last='Reynolds'] <strong>San Tan Charter </strong>+23</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and wiry power forward is one of those players who can defend nearly every position on the floor with his go-go gadget arms and quick twitch athleticism. He can occasionally face up to the perimeter and is a stud on the break to throw it down. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2396146' first='Ethan' last='Graves'] <strong>Palo Verde </strong>+19</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A power forward from Tucson seems to get better every year little by little. He grew an inch and he has close to seven-foot wingspan to block or alter shots in the lane plus gobble up rebounds. He runs the floor, dunks it easily and scores on layups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1917869' first='Ethan' last='Sobik'] <strong>Notre Dame Prep</strong> +16</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly skilled power forward is a true face-up type. He had a good summer at Section-7 and continued to show what he can do at the Southwest Basketball Camp. He will hit the three easily plus scores it inside with feel and touch. He can dunk it and rebound at a good rate in his area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2674764' first='Cam' last='Lauer'] <strong>ALA West Foothills</strong> +16</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another steadily improving power forward may be one of the breakout players in all of 3A. He uses his volleyball like quick springs to rebound, dunk it or block a shot. He is showing more and more post footwork with some counter moves, making him a tougher cover. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1150903' first='Rocket' last='Schwertley'] <strong>Brophy Prep </strong>+10</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong framed power forward with skill and a big IQ. He is a good passer and plays from the neck up. He shoots it comfortably from mid to the three point line and will hold his ground to rebound and deter them from scoring inside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2734925' first='Jayson' last='Paulo'] <strong>Eastmark</strong> +9</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A versatile power forward is a little undersized but he is tough and comes with some skill. He loves working from elbow and in and he will shoot it plus rip thru and get downhill scoring thru the contact. He rebounds at a good clip and brings an edge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
