Here are 9 stock risers after the off-season of AAU and the HS live periods: (Many just got more opportunity, grew or showed more consistency).
Jaelen Green Jaelen Green 6'2" | SF Gilbert | 2024 State AZ Gilbert +21 (Pictured)
A long wing plays many positions for his HS and AAU teams. He loves attacking off the bounce and will defend almost every position on the floor. His energy makes his game go.
Cohen Ferguson Cohen Ferguson 6'1" | SG Campo Verde | 2024 State AZ Campo Verde +18
A pleasant surprise at the recent Southwest Basketball Camp. He has a strong upper body and he can shoot it. He is a two-guard but can slide over from time to time and play some one. He made some incredible passes along the two days.
David Franks David Franks 5'11" | CG Phhoenix Prep | 2025 State AZ Casteel +17
A natural scorer from all levels. A tad undersized but good speed and skill. The ball is on a string for him and he made the leap up in the summer from JV to varsity look easy.
Christian Holly Christian Holly 6'1" | SG Phhoenix Prep | 2025 State AZ Millennium +15
An athletic two-guard grew a little but was more consistent when I viewed him. He made more shots from the perimeter and uses his speed to get into the lane and scores it through contact.
TJ Clark TJ Clark 6'5" | SF Sequoia Charter | 2024 State AZ Mountain Pointe +14
A super long wing is a true disruptor defensively. He can handle the rock to get downhill and has a decent shot from mid-range. He is rapidly growing and is just scratching the surface. He recently grew two inches.
Jaevyn Yancey Jaevyn Yancey 6'7" | PF Eduprize | 2024 State AZ Higley +13
A long forward with some untapped potential. He showed some serious promise in the summer with scoring, rim running and defending inside the paint.
Noah Gifft Noah Gifft 6'2" | SG Ironwood | 2024 State AZ Ironwood +12
Arguably the top standstill shooter in the class. He sets up his shot quickly and fires away in a blink of an eye. He is smart and savvy and his 3pt stroke is as good as anyone in state.
Nathan Wanjohi Nathan Wanjohi 6'6" | PF Phhoenix Prep | 2024 AZ Ironwood+8
Another who should grow over the next few years. He already has the skill from elbow and in and can score with his back to the basket. He has the length to rebound in and out of his area and has a bright future for the Eagles.
Luke Shaw Luke Shaw 6'3" | CG Valley Christian | 2024 State AZ Valley Christian +8
A skilled and savvy guard had some huge games this off season. He has a big family lineage of size and he has a polished game. He can pull-up from mid to the 3pt line and go on his own personal runs. He uses a tight handle and understands how to change speeds.
