Here are five stock risers.
Christian Alston, Bartlett: The 6-foot-5 wing moved up from No. 24 to No. 11. Alston’s length and athleticism is a plus for him to have success at the next level. During the summer, Alston has displayed his ability to make shots from the perimeter. The rising junior has a nice shot release. Alston is also unselfish and moves well without the basketball. He’s still scratching the surface. Alston hasn’t reached his full potential yet, and that’s the scary part.
Taj Kimber, Fulton: The 6-4 shooting guard landed at No. 16. The 6-4 shooting guard had a solid sophomore season, helping his school made a deep run in the postseason. Kimber does a lot of good things. Offensively, he’s efficient from the field. Kimber makes timely shots. He can make the right reads. Defensively, Kimber’s lateral movement is good enough to guard on the perimeter. As long as he improves, Kimber will move up in the next update.
Tre Davis, Lausanne: Davis makes his way up to No. 15. Davis was a reliable offensive option for the Lynx during the 2021 season. He’s been focused on expanding his game during the summer with EAB 16U. Davis not only can make shots from 3-point range, but he’s also able to make solid passes to his teammates. Davis plays aggressive on both ends of the floor. The rising junior has added value to his game that’s been getting the attention of mid-major programs.
Sam Medalie, Franklin: Medalie is inside the top 50 at No. 48. The 6-2 guard is flying under the radar as a scorer in this class. His name isn’t ringing loud enough, but Medalie has a niche for getting a bucket. He can make shots from the perimeter. Medalie can get into the lane. He isn’t afraid of contact.
Jack Shackelford, Bartlett: The 6-7 wing moved up 13 spots to No. 56. The rising junior can make shots from the perimeter. Shackelford doesn’t have to fill up the stat sheet to be effective. He goes after 50-50 balls, crashes the boards and set solid screens. It’s only up from here for Shackelford, who has the potential to be in the upper echelon at his position in this class.
