<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With 273 players, there are bound to be players that saw their stock rise.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were 28 new players and here are some of the stock risers. We actually had 77 players that saw their stock rise +1 to one that was +103 but&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the Top-10 stock risers since December:&nbsp;</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3143427' first='Myking' last='Marfell-Williams'] <strong>Westview</strong> +103</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top stock risers of any player in the AIA. He showed off his skill, court savvy, speed with the ball and competitiveness. The lefty has deep three point range with a quicker trigger off the pull or catch. He will thread the needle and plays with speed and control. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2693841' first='Dayne' last='Dancy'] <strong>Perry</strong> +82</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another point guard is a facilitator but he can score. He makes pinpoint passes look easy with great timing and a nice handle. He is very elusive to the basket and he can score with threes off the catch or pull, mid-range pull-ups and uses his longer arms to play the passing lanes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2755994' first='Weston' last='Bundy'] <strong>Perry </strong>+73</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical wing forward plays and defends multiple positions for the Pumas. He brings toughness to the court with his other sports he plays. He is very strong, cerebral and has a little skill inside the paint to score. He rebounds well, makes smart passes and plays with a motor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2849553' first='Mikel' last='Montgomery'] <strong>Maryvale </strong>+66</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A tough combo guard uses his thicker frame, nice handle and speed to get downhill and score thru the contact using his build. He can also shoot it from the perimeter but prefers to get to the basket. He will defend multiple positions, make some plays and rebound well for a guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2682498' first='Banks' last='Wolfe'] <strong>Mesa Mountain View</strong> +59</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A throw back pure point guard has a high feel and a huge IQ for the game. He is undersized but throws players open to where his teammates will be. Up the court passes and drive and kicks. He will score with threes off the catch, pull-ups and layups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3150619' first='Jasiah' last='Lloyd'] <strong>Carl Hayden </strong>+59</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A two-way defensive combo guard is a strong, tough guard who takes pride on that side of the court. He consistently will slow down his opponents with his stocky frame and lateral quickness. He rebounds well for his size and will score it in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3259747' first='DJ' last='Charles'] <strong>Canyon View (Pictured)</strong> +54</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The quintessential point guard is undersized but guides the West Valley team perfectly with the ball on a string, command of the offense and making the correct read over and over. He is very fast with the ball in his hands and comes with skill. He can pull-up from mid, hit the three and burst to the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2949466' first='Chase' last='Crandall'] <strong>Highland</strong> +55</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger combo guard grew an inch or two in the last year. He can play on or off the ball and makes smart decisions and reads. He can create a little for himself and score it with fall aways, mid-range pull-ups and threes off the catch or pull. He may get some burn on varsity next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3028737' first='Aymen' last='Salti'] <strong>Paradise Valley</strong> +50</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bigger wing forward who is highly skilled and he will score it from inside and out. He uses his size, frame and girth to score with a nice touch and post footwork to utilize. He will also step out and shoot the three with confidence and can dribble drive to the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2412026' first='Rylon' last='Bradford'] <strong>ALA-Ironwood</strong> +48</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and lean wing forward with plus size who uses it on the defensive end to play the passing lanes and rebounds the ball well despite his weight. He will score it with threes off the catch or pull, off the ball cuts, transition scores and he should make another leap next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
