Today, we'll continue rankings update coverage with a look at some of the Stock Risers.   Overall, 11 prospects rose at least 10 spots in this update, with five of them rising 25 spots or more!   [player_tooltip player_id='2883038' first='Owen' last='Earle'], who now sits in the Top 10 (#10), made a massive jump up the rankings, climbing 41 spots. The Wilbraham & Monson guard is a tough shot maker, quality half-court decision maker, and plays with toughness on both ends of the floor.   Here are five other standout Stock Risers from this rankings update:    +10 (#50 to #40)   Figueroa, a big man out of the Brooks School, was a stock riser after a strong summer playing for Above The Rim Elite. The 6'8" big man has some offensive versatility, showing the ability to score over either shoulder in the paint, while also being able to step out to the three point line and knock down shots. On top of that, he runs the floor hard in transition and is capable of operating as a roller or pop guy out of screening actions. Defensively, he rebounds it at a high rate and is a budding rim protector.     +25 (#50 to #25)   Hall-Chiari, a lead guard out of Putnam Science Academy, impresses with his ability to make plays with the ball in his hands. He's a capable, multi-level scorer that has good positional size, nice burst when attacking the rim, and the ability to play through contact. He's able to create space off the bounce and is constantly improving as a perimeter shooter. On the other end, he takes on tough matchups, doesn't back down physically, and has the ability to generate steals and deflections at a high level. With his size, he's a capable rebounder for the position that does a nice job of quickly converting from defense to offense.     +57 (#74 to #17)   Jones, a versatile forward out of the Williston Northampton School, shined during the scholastic period, showing impressive two-way versatility. He's physically advanced for a 2028, with impressive strength and athleticism. He rebounds both in and out of his area, can protect the rim from the help side, and has the versatility needed to guard all five positions. He's hard to guard in transition, where he uses his frame to finish through contact at the rim. He can attack as a straight line driver, takes advantage of smaller defenders in the post, and has a nose for the ball on the offensive glass.     +39 (#58 to #19)   Everitt, a scoring wing out of the Avon Old Farms School, has a nice combination of positional size, shooting ability, and feel for the game. Offensively, he does a good job of spacing the floor, leverages his shooting as a driver, and is a willing ball mover. He's consistently shot ready on the catch, shows a high IQ as a cutter, and uses his length to his advantage as a rim finisher. On the other end of the floor, he knows where he needs to be in rotation, does a nice job of rebounding in space, and is capable of making plays in passing lanes that lead to steals.     +12 (#65 to #53)   Hynes, a crafty guard out of the Roxbury Latin School, pops with his two-way versatility, athleticism, and high motor. He does a nice job of attacking the rim off the bounce, shows the ability to finish in a variety of ways around the rim, and is capable of knocking down shots in catch and shoot situations. As a driver, he does a good job of getting to his spots and also shows an understanding of how to play off of two feet in the paint. Defensively, he has good anticipation, can guard up and down a position, and even provides some shot blocking when he comes from the help side.
