<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>January is where the season starts to separate, and the players who are trending up begin to make it obvious. With league play heating up and big matchups stacking up every week, these stock risers are turning production into real momentum. Whether it's new roles, improved skill sets, or just flat-out consistency, this group has elevated their impact and put more eyes on their name. Here are the January Stock Risers making the biggest jump right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2546901"],"_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-696667a99f7ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maiwen is an athletic swing guard who brings real burst and downhill pressure every time he touches it. He's a true slasher that consistently gets to the paint and finishes above the rim with authority. In transition, he's lethal—turning rebounds and steals into instant offense and forcing defenses to sprint back. His athleticism isn't just for scoring either, because he makes an impact defensively with energy, activity, and the ability to guard multiple spots. When he attacks, he naturally attracts help defense and collapses the lane. That attention opens up clean looks for others, and he does a good job finding teammates off the drive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Malik Kamara","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Nazareth ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-696667a99f9bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kamara is a high-upside prospect with nice length and a smooth pace that stands out right away. He can knock down the three with confidence and keeps defenses honest with his shooting threat. When he puts it on the deck, he's able to get to the line and play through contact. He also finishes well in traffic, showing touch and toughness around the rim. He's got the type of frame and skill package that gives him real positional versatility as he continues to develop. As his handle and decision-making tighten up, his scoring impact can jump to another level. With his ability to space the floor, attack gaps, and draw fouls, Kamara has a game that translates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2623870"],"_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-696667a99faa8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miller is a smooth guard who plays with great pace and never looks rushed. He consistently gets to his spots in the halfcourt, using change of speed and angles to create clean looks. His high IQ stands out, as he reads defenders early and makes the right decision possession to possession. As a playmaker, he does a great job creating advantages and setting up teammates for easy baskets. He's comfortable operating out of ball screens and can deliver accurate passes on time and on target. Around the rim, he's crafty and strong enough to finish on taller defenders, using touch and body control to score through contact. With his poise, feel, and ability to impact the game as both a scorer and creator, Miller is a guard you can trust in winning time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2892154"],"_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-696667a99fb87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Diaz is a skilled guard who plays with a smooth pace and keeps the game under control. He does a great job finding teammates, consistently making the right reads and setting others up for quality looks. As a scorer, he can heat up from outside in a hurry and punish defenses when they go under screens or lose him in space. He's comfortable creating off the bounce and making plays without forcing the action. His feel and confidence continue to show up more each time out, making him a steady presence in the backcourt. Diaz is definitely a player to keep an eye on as his impact and production keep trending up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Justin Williams","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mcclancy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-696667a99fd5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is a smooth guard who consistently gets to the basket and puts pressure on the defense. He's a reliable, consistent finisher once he gets downhill, showing touch and control around the rim. He plays with confidence and doesn't shy away from contact in the paint. Williams also has a real knack for making big plays in key moments and swinging momentum. He changes speeds well and uses his handle to create driving lanes against tight on-ball pressure. Even when defenses load up, he stays composed and finds ways to get quality looks for himself. With his attacking mindset and ability to deliver in winning time, Williams is a guard you can trust to impact the game on both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
