La Porte Invitational: Saturday Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The La Porte Invitational brought competitive action in the Nike Scholastic League to Indiana and in this article I'll break down my stock risers from the final 3 games of the day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2466505"],"_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-6963d631e05b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A prospect Prep Hoops has been higher on than the industry nationally, Swann has added a different dynamic to the St James Academy team with his creation ability on the ball. Swann has a quick first step and can decelerate off the dribble to throw defenses off. Swann also had a nasty left-handed dunk in transition, showing his ability to explode from different launch angles. Looking confident on pull-ups as well, Swann hit some tough shots off the dribble. While Swann does have to take on a large scoring role on this team, his scoring dynamic was much needed for a St James Academy squad that's had a tough time this season in Nike Scholastic play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2334950"],"_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-6963d631e0691"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Frazier just arrived at Iowa United Prep this week and hit the ground running in a key league victory on Saturday. One of the most athletic forwards in the country, Frazier moves at a different speed and burst than most prospects his size. Able to finish over smaller defenders in the paint, Frazier can find himself matched-up with wings and guards when he run the floor and beats other forwards down the court. Hoping to see Frazier become stronger with the ball and showcase more ability from a triple threat but the athletic dynamic he brings to Iowa United Prep in the open court and as a rebounder should provide a big boost. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2871904"],"_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-6963d631e0714"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most dominant physical forces in the 2028 rankings, Touray was a beast in the paint for IMG Academy. Knowing what he is, Touray stays around the paint on both ends of the court and blocks shots, collects offensive rebounds and finishes above the rim. Not many 2028 prospects are producing in the Nike Scholastic league and Touray is showing why he's regarded as one of the best 2028 prospects in the country. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341352"],"_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-6963d631e078a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">CATS Academy came out firing to open up the final game of the night as Terry was making shots off the catch early on in the game. I like his positional size and sturdy frame, having the body to play immediately at the college level. I also was impressed by the offensive flow that CATS Academy played with in the half-court, moving the ball from side to side and getting a handful of guys involved. I'd expect this team to continue to gel as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1430444"],"_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-6963d631e081c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the elite shooters nationally, Webber has a straight burner. Able to fire away immediately off the catch, Webber hits shots off movement that few players should even imagine taking. In a defensive first league, having a guy who can get hot from the outside in a hurry is such an advantage and Webber is arguably the best shooter in all of the Nike Scholastic league.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
