The 2024 class competed in their final event this weekend and players put up strong performances at the Hoop Group Summer Finale. Here are the 2024 stock risers from the Hoop Group Summer Finale.
Max Neirenberg Max Neirenberg 6'5" | SF Ramsey | 2024 State NJ , 6’5 W NJ Panthers 17U Select
Neirenberg had a big Sunday, which boosted his stock nicely. The 6’5 wing attacked the basket strong as he finished a couple of and-1s and showed a good touch around the basket. Neirenberg used his handle effectively to create space from his defender and has a high release on his jumper. He moved well without the ball in his hands and played solid defense. Neirenberg’s ability to get to the rim off the bounce is something that will help his stock in a big way over the next couple of months.
Kevin Rucker Kevin Rucker 6'5" | SG Bonner-Prendergast | 2024 State PA , 6’5 SG WeR1 17U
Rucker had a strong performance over the weekend as he was able to put his game on display. The 6’5 guard attacked the basket with a purpose as he was able to get to his spot on the floor and finish around the rim. Rucker played with poise throughout the weekend as he was not rattled by on-ball pressure. He used his length to create disruptions on the defensive end and pushed the ball well in transition. Rucker’s stock will continue to rise if he continues to play at this level.
Tristen Guillouette Tristen Guillouette 6'9" | C George School | 2024 State PA , 6’9 C NJ Scholars 17U
Guillouette helped his stock this weekend as he was able to make his presence felt down low. The 6’9 post used his body to get position down low and showed off a nice touch around the basket. Guillouette was able to draw contact around the basket and set good screens in the halfcourt. He ripped down rebounds on both ends of the floor and influenced shots around the rim with his size. Guillouette’s ability to control the paint and knock down jumpers in the mid-range will help his development in a big way.
Logan Suber Logan Suber 6'0" | PG Mt. Zion | 2024 MD , 6’0 PG DC Premier 17U
Suber was fantastic over the weekend as he made plays for DC Premier at both ends of the floor. The 6’0 guard used his quick first step to blow by his defender off the bounce and finish around the rim. Suber controlled the flow of the game as did not get sped up by on-ball pressure and found his open teammates in the half court. He corralled rebounds for second chance opportunities and made it tough for his man to get to his spot on the floor. Suber is a tough floor general who is one to watch with his ability to make plays with the ball in his hands.
Alex Massung Alex Massung 6'2" | PG Hudson Catholic | 2024 State NJ , 6’2 PG NJ Panthers 17U
Massung had a huge weekend as he was constantly making plays. The 6’2 lefty was aggressive off the bounce as defenders could not stop him from getting to the basket and drawing contact. Massung finished several and-1s over the course of the weekend and was able to get to his spot on the floor. He pushed the pace well in transition and moved his feet well on defense. Massung’s ability to finish around the rim and defend on the ball makes him a prospect to track in the 2024 class.
