<p>There were a lot of high-performing players at The Expo on September 6th, but these nine guys really popped with their play as some under-the-radar and notable stock risers who deserve some looks over the next season. Each guy showed not just the skills to fill a needed role on a team, but the ability to play within that team, recognize their strengths and weaknesses, and be a constant additive to the team mission. Get to know these nine names as some potentially big stock risers this winter.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Garcia turned a lot of heads at The Expo with his size and athleticism. Still a little raw skill-wise, but he has the potential to be a sneaky signing for some college. Made some great, reactive blocks at the rim, showed he can cover area defending across the paint, and showed flashes on both ends of his big potential with some power finishes too. Had a few nice moments with quick footwork right off the catch to spin around or side step defenders, and will definitely be a kid to track at Jackson this winter.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Clement has long shown the touch to strike with his jumper from different levels. However, he looked quicker and slightly more athletic while showing out at The Expo, which helped him not only get to his spots quicker, but aid in breaking some backcourt pressure and utilize his dribble with more purpose in the half court. It was a very impressive showing at the event, and Clement is a shooter local schools should keep tabs on as he prepares for his senior year at Curtis.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Nlend has shown he has the physical make up of a guy who can make an impact defensively. He's strong, has a long reach, above average athleticism, and a good motor. This spring, he started to show some improvements in his 3-point shot and he continued to knock down those outside shots at a higher rate at The Expo. He's looking like a rising 3&D prospect.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The first thing that comes to mind with Walcolm's game is strength. It shows up most evidently in his defensive effort. He has enough lateral quickness to stay in front of his man most times, and when ball handlers do find themselves running into Malcolm, it's often them moving back not him. At The Expo, Walcolm showed a more confident approach on offense, using that strength to barrel down lanes and finish through contact at the hoop. He looks ready to play a bigger role for Skyline this winter as a two-way player for the Spartans.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Murphy is a strong wing who has shown the ability to be a consistent finisher at the hoop with his slashes. Has done a better job with his pickups through traffic and that ability to get to the rim has opened up a lot more easy buckets for him. He has a good frame, so once he gets in close, he has the strength and power to finish through defenders. Has also been knocking down open shots away from the basket with better regularity, and should be a kid to watch at Davis this winter.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Frolov is the type of player whose play style should allow him to fit into just about any team setting. He's a great mover without the ball, will do a bunch of little things well like set screens, make hockey assists, and play out of different spots on the floor. Has enough strength, skill, and athleticism to chip in across the board with assists, rebounds, and points, and has the work rate to be a constant factor throughout the game.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Zupan is a sneaky guard who plays the game at his pace, has the handle and deception to get to his spots, and does a great job playing on balance find little pockets to make plays from. He's a little on the small side at 6-foot, but shows the ability to counter taller defenders and work inside to the basket using his body to shield shots, and has a multitude of finishes to go to. Has a good floater with either hand, will use the inside hand finish at the proper time, and shows no fear attacking the cup.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sartoe was one of the bigger eye-openers for me at the event. He displayed some big-time athleticism to finish above the rim with force a few times, and was a pretty shifty ball handler with some explosiveness out of his moves. He's a kid who will work hard defending the ball, stay engaged off of it, and showed off some extended range from 3-point. He could be a big mover this winter at Ferris.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kinnay has been on an upward trajectory since the spring, really impressing me with his consistency and the difference in his approach to the game since last winter. He's been a standout every time I've seen him this spring and summer, showcasing an improved outside shot, and better work off the dribble to get to into his attacks quicker and capitalize on his superior athleticism. He should really open some eyes this winter at Auburn.</p>
