<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With 300 players, there are bound to be players that saw their stock rise.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were 42 new players and here are some of the stock risers. We actually had 50 players that saw their stock rise +1 to one that was +98 but&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the Top-9 stock risers since December:&nbsp;</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2759091' first='Calvin' last='McCrory'] <strong>Valley Christian</strong> +98</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The southpaw had a breakout season for the top notch 3A team. He transferred in from Horizon Honors and quickly became a reliable scorer next to the stud senior [player_tooltip player_id='1900362' first='Colby' last='Jessup']. Calvin comes with range on his three point shot and he is very crafty to get to the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3173437' first='Maven' last='Beadle'] <strong>Mountain Ridge </strong>+68</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Making horoable mention wont send shock waves but he showed that he can be relied upon in a loaded region with SDO, Liberty and Pinnacle. He can score with quick bursts to the basket and hit the three off the catch and smartly moves without the ball. He is also a sneaky good passer and he is improving his all-around game. He can make another leap up with a higher shooting % next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2412235' first='Matthew' last='Clark'] <strong>Boulder Creek</strong> +39</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A crafty scoring point guard who grew two inches since last year. He got to finally play on the varsity team from JV last year and he definitely made the most of it with scoring from all levels. He shoots the three and he will burst down the lane with quick downhill takes with a little toughness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2295697' first='Chase' last='Swenson'] <strong>Chaparral</strong> +38</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A decent sized point guard with a next level feel. He is flying a little under the radar in the AIA but the 5A PG is very poised and can score and facilitate. He can shoot it from deep one by one but has the speed to get past his defenders to score or find an open teammate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2339783' first='Robert' last='Morris IV'] <strong>Desert Vista</strong> +34</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker framed wing forward with decent size, skill and athleticism. He can hit the three off the catch, get downhill in traffic and he is a stud in transition. He uses his atheticism, length and twitch to defend multiple positions making him a potential 3 and D in the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2885162' first='Jacob' last='Vasiloff'] <strong>Rancho Solano Prep</strong> +30</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger wing forward made the move from Cactus Shadows and he had some big games for the smaller school. He averaged almost 6 ppg with 7 rebounds. He showed off a motor and desire to board at his size. He can score it inside and hit the three. The higher the shooting % for him, he will rise up even more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2215387' first='Jahmai' last='Samuel-Maragh'] <strong>Bella Vista Prep</strong> +29</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A polished 3 and D type has a nice stocky frame with long arms and plus skill. He shoots the ball effortlessly and will rattle them in when he is hot. He can get a step on his defender to the basket and rebounds well. He consistently slows down his opponent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2337276' first='Brig' last='Standage'] <strong>Mesa Mountain View</strong> +17</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger scoring guard had a breakout season. He used his size and skill to score inside and improved bounce to throw it down on the break. But it is his shooting stroke that has you intrigued with his future. He squares up like you should and will fill it up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2767184' first='Tahli' last='El-Amin'] <strong>Chandler</strong> +16</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A super athletic point guard with speed, feel and court vision. He is very fast on the break and will make some pinpoint passes to teammates in stride. He can score it from the perimeter from mid to the three, he can get to the rim and watch out on the break or he will dunk it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
