The Jersey Force scrimmages were a prime example of this as three programs faced off against each other. The event was filled with talented players who stood out in a big way. Here are the top stock risers from the Jersey Force scrimmages.

Barlow showed off a nice release on his shot and attacked the basket hard. He made plays on the defensive end and did not make mistakes with the ball in his hands.

Delaney has a nice touch around the basket and knocked down several jumpers throughout the course of the day. He played good post defense and was tough on the boards.

Pierce had a solid pair of games for the Jersey Force Select team as he worked tirelessly on both ends of the floor. The 6’1 combo guard attacked the basket with a purpose and knew how to finish around the rim. Pierce pushed the ball in transition and made good passes throughout the day.
