<p>I already pointed out some of the <em><a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/10/bdh-stock-riser-showcase-top-playmakers/">Top Playmakers</a></em>, <em><a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/09/big-drip-hoops-stock-riser-showcase-top-5-performers/">Top Performers</a></em>, <em><a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/09/bdh-stock-riser-showcase-top-defenders/">Top Defenders</a></em>, and some of the <em><a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/10/bdh-stock-riser-showcase-biggest-surprises/">Most Surprising</a> </em>players from the showcase, now let's dive into some of the other standouts and what elevated them among a talented group of players.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Toughness & Hustle</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1612217' first='Kane' last='Wood'] Cleveland</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A 6-foot-5 forward that got up and down the court, showed the necessary strength to effectively defend bigger forwards in the post and rebounded and finished at the rim with strength and efficiency. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1587994' first='Mason' last='St Louis'] Kentwood</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the better rebounding guards at the showcase, he not only anticipated offensive boards but was able to absorb contact under the rim to finish second-chance plays.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Brandon Logan</strong> Curtis</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Showed some impressive finishing ability through contact for a guy known as a 3-point shooter. Dug in as a defender and battled throughout the day.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1798145' first='Jakari' last='Singleton'] Reardan</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Seemed to be everywhere and made plays at the rim on both sides of the ball. Not a lot of guys matched his physicality and effort for a lot of the day.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Highest Raw Potential</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1450500' first='Jamari' last='Harris'] Garfield</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Length and athleticism are uncanny. Showed some ability to knock down the open long-range shots as well as game-changing explosive plays on both ends of the floor.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1612212' first='Dominic' last='Navarre'] Zillah</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A big, bruising type of forward who has enough athleticism to make up for some dribbling and finishing deficiencies. He has a lot of potential still to tap into but right now relies on being one of the top athletes and hardest workers on the floor.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1485677' first='Garrett' last='Marrs'] Ellensburg</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Led the way with 10 rpg but also showed some excellent catch-and-shoot skills from 3-point. His size and fluidity were really eye-opening.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1850312' first='Layne' last='Weir'] Bonney Lake</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another big body with extreme gracefulness with the ball at times. Can get his shot from each level with a variety of dribble moves and has the soft shooting touch to spread the floor.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1450980' first='Martin' last='Kaupanger'] Annie Wright</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>MVP of the showcase and for good reason. He's a bouncy 6-foot-5 guard who's improved his handle and jumper and made picking apart the defense look pretty easy at times. Also showed some defensive ability, making a few big stops at the rim.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1631540' first='Nirvaan' last='Misra'] Seattle Prep</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Has natural ability to create space with the ball and looks like he's getting taller. Fluid jumper out of the dribble and shows some great vision attacking and passing. Could make a big leap physically in the next two years that would help his game take off.</p>
