2027 Rankings: PG/CG Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With 294 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 35 new players and here are some of the stock risers. We actually had probably close to 30 players that saw their stock rise but&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the top 11 PG/CG stock risers since March:&nbsp;</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2423049' first='Ben' last='Petrick'] <strong>Pinnacle (Pictured)</strong> +50</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A sharp shooting lead guard plays with a high IQ and cerebral approach to the game. He was one of the biggest stock risers in the class with his three point shooting from deep, quick trigger, ball movement and just understands how to play the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2475408' first='Kyree' last='Harder'] <strong>Catalina Foothills</strong> +38</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring combo guard had a good summer with his high school and club team. He can make plays for others but puts the ball in the basket with quick drives, pull-ups from mid-range and threes off the catch. They lost a couple of top players to the transfer portal and he will be one of their main weapons this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2427680' first='Conner' last='Tefteller'] <strong>Campo Verde</strong> +37</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the biggest stock risers of any true point guard in the entire AIA was Conner. He sees the court differently then most and will thread it in quickly. He plays at a good pace and can also score with dribble drives and perimeter jumpers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2396141' first='Kamaiu' last='Ortiz']<strong> Palo Verde</strong> +32</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A combo guard who plays the game like you should and is very unselfish. He sees the court with good court vision and is very calm under pressure. He can score it with hesitation drives and shoot the three better with more three point shooting range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2146267' first='Micah' last='Andrews'] <strong>Deer Valley</strong> +22</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A dynamic pure point is quickly turning one of the top defensive guards in the class and the AIA. He has elite lateral quickness and athleticism for days. He throws the lob perfectly and throws teammates open in stride. He will also score with dunks, blow by takes and perimeter J's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2146269' first='Daijon' last='Grayson'] <strong>Mesa</strong> +15</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A hyper athletic pure point guard has grown about 1-2 inches in the last year or so. His speed, ball handling, ability to handle pressure, next level bounce, bursts to the basket and improving shooting makes him the stock riser that he is. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2276224' first='Tre' last='Wilkins'] <strong>AZ Compass Prep</strong> +13</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker framed combo guard is strong and skilled. He sees the court well with some up the court and drive and kicks but he is known as a shooter and scorer. He shoots it easily from the three point line and he can pull-up from mid plus get downhill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2365144' first='Cameron' last='Koehler'] <strong>Casteel</strong> +10</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A cerebral bigger combo guard can handle some pressure and make plays for teammates but is more of a natural scorer. He can shoot it off the catch or pull from mid to the three point line but is quick enough to get downhill. He will also fight hard on defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2149098' first='Chase' last='Stedman'] <strong>Prescott</strong> +10</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The son of the Prescott head coach is just finding his way. He plays the game from the neck up and will constantly move the ball to the open man and keeps it simple. He has a tighter handle and will handle the big pressure, throw it down the court for assists plus score. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2412235' first='Matthew' last='Clark'] <strong>Boulder Creek</strong> +9</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A skilled and smart scoring lead guard may get his chance to play the lead role this season with the transfer of their starting PG. He moves the ball like you should and he can shoot it from the three point line with range. He is one of those players that can get a major bump up with his strong play on varsity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2146238' first='Victor' last='Vu'] <strong>Apollo</strong> +8</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A recent standout at the Southwest Basketball Camp just keeps getting a little better every year. He guides an offense and will make the extra pass like you should to the open man but will fill it up from the perimeter with deep threes and mid-range jumpers off the catch or pull. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
