<p>The 2024 rankings update was filled with so many stock risers that one article was not enough. Here are even more stock risers from the 2024 rankings update.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1273900" first="Taron" last="Murray"], 6’3 CG Camden</strong></p> <p>Murray took a big jump up the rankings as he moved up 21 spots. The 6’3 guard has a nice release on his jumper and shoots the ball with confidence from the perimeter. Murray moves well without the ball in his hands and rarely forces shots in the half court. He is a solid passer and moves his feet well on the defensive end. Murray’s ability to knock down shots from behind the arc is something that will help his stock in a big way this summer.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1407254" first="DJ" last="Orloff"], 6’5 PF Howell</strong></p> <p>Orloff has had a strong spring with the Jersey Shore Predators as he went up 17 spots in the update. The 6’5 forward has a good face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and get to the basket from the perimeter. Orloff has a nice release on his jumper and his range extends out to the three-point line. He is a strong rebounder at both ends of the floor and is an underrated passer. Orloff’s ability to play inside and out is something that will be key for him this summer.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1273913" first="Jordan" last="Taylor"], 6’6 PF St. Peter’s Prep</strong></p> <p>Taylor went up 16 spots in the rankings and has the potential to go up even more with a big summer. The 6’6 forward has a strong frame, which he uses to get position down low and draw contact. Taylor has a nice touch around the basket and is becoming a more confident shooter. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and works hard on the defensive end. Taylor is a physical forward prospect who knows how use his body in the paint to get position.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1407256" first="Robbie" last="Kauffman"], 5’8 PG Calvary </strong></p> <p>Kauffman took a similar jump in the rankings to his Jersey Shore Predators’ teammate Orloff as he went up 15 spots. The 5’8 guard has a nice handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finish around the basket. Kauffman is more than just a driver as he has a good shooting stroke as he wastes little motion in his jumper. He knows how to get his teammates involved in the half court and is an underrated defender. Kauffman’s ability to run the offense is something that will help his stock in a big way this summer.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1406989" first="Johnny" last="Kelly"], 6’6 SF Hillsborough</strong></p> <p>Kelly moved up 13 spots in the rankings update and is a forward to watch this summer for the NJ Panthers. The 6’6 wing has a nice handle, which he uses to get by his defender and finish strong around the basket. Kelly uses his size to elevate over smaller defenders and has a nice release on his jumper. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Kelly is a versatile forward prospect who has the potential to break out this summer.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other Prospects to Know:</strong></span></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1407004" first="Christian" last="Durham"], 6’4 SG Paul VI</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1407077" first="Ben" last="Guy"], 6’0 PG St. Peter’s Prep</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1189093" first="Ikenna" last="Ibeku"], 6’4 PF South Plainfield</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1407081" first="Evan" last="O’Reilly"], 6’3 SG Ridgewood</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1153999" first="Jaylan" last="Hornsby"], 6’3 SG Overbrook</strong></p>
