<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Maryland recently updated its <a href="https://prephoops.com/maryland/rankings/2024-rankings/">2024 prospect rankings</a>. Here is a rundown of the biggest stock risers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">#5 | [player_tooltip player_id='1759619' first='Kahuranaki' last='Treacher'] | Previous Rank: #23</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Treacher is a high-level athlete, rebounder, and finisher who is shooting lights out from 3-point land this year. His emergence is one reason why the Bulldogs already have 13 wins this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">#14 | [player_tooltip player_id='1366897' first='Rulian' last='(RJ) Stewart'] | Previous Rank: #26</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stewart is a top athlete at the lead guard spot. He's exceptional as a finisher and dangerous as a defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">#21 | [player_tooltip player_id='1366899' first='Joseph' last='McRae'] | Previous Rank: #74</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McRae has earned a rep as one of the better perimeter defenders you'll see in this area. He's alert on the help side and menacing on the ball. McRae is an assertive offensive player who can finish over length with a soft touch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">#24 | [player_tooltip player_id='1759620' first='Elwyne' last='Wordlaw'] | Previous Rank: #39</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wordlaw is a top player from Frederick County. He is dynamic on the ball, gets to his spots for easy buckets, but also dictates games with his playmaking. Wordlaw is a true game-changer on all fronts from the point guard position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">#25 | [player_tooltip player_id='1647325' first='Demarcus' last='Daniel Jr.'] | Previous Rank: #55</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Daniel is a jack of all trades with good size and versatility. He's a thoughtful passer who is efficient with the ball, makes shots, and is effective as a finisher. It feels like Daniel will not stop growing, which is one reason why his stock continues trending upward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">#26 | [player_tooltip player_id='1759602' first='Jarvis' last='Wright'] | Previous Rank: #54</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One word to describe Wright's game? Disciplined. He has great defensive posture and activity level. Wright is a good cutter and finisher who is unselfish. He has a mid-range pull-up that he goes to, and seeks contact on his drives.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">#32 | [player_tooltip player_id='1225262' first='Hassan' last='Dorman'] | Previous Rank: #102</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dorman is relentless as a scorer. He is shifty with the ball and routinely creates separation for his shot. You won't find many who can fill it up in the fashion that Dorman can. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">#35 | [player_tooltip player_id='1237830' first='Jake' last='Williams'] | Previous Rank: #68</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams is shooting lights out this season, north of 50% for a majority of the campaign on reasonably high volume. While his shot has improved, so has his all-around game. Williams has perfected the lost art of the box out. He is effective at stunting off the ball defensively and has developed a complementary in-between game to go along with his outside shot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">#41 | [player_tooltip player_id='1759606' first='Steve' last='Ndingue'] | Previous Rank: #70</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ndingue was operating efficiently as the hub of the Bulldogs' offense when I last saw him. His footwork, including his step-thru move, was next level. Ndingue's passing from the post is on point. He's also a versatile piece on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">#42 | [player_tooltip player_id='1411084' first='Jake' last='Tringone'] | Previous Rank: #53</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fighter would be the word I use to describe Tringone. He is the type of player who will never give up and play through every whistle. His skills are certainly good, but his warrior mentality should benefit him down the road. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
