Biggest 2022 Newly Added Stock Risers

The much-anticipated 2022 Class prospect update is here! Prep Girls Hoops New Jersey has been working hard at putting together a much more comprehensive list of the best seniors in the state and we nearly added in 30 new players to our existing list, bringing it up to 77 total prospects. With so many new additions, we wanted to touch on the biggest stock risers of the bunch. <strong>No. 30: [player_tooltip player_id="401193" first="Riley" last="Fulmer"] - PG, Woodstown</strong> We’ve been beyond impressed with the kind of improvements that Fulmer has made to her game this season, turning into one of the best shooters in South Jersey. This is a player who made a career-high 2.1 three-pointers a game and joined Woodstown’s 1000 point club in the process this season. Fulmer looked like a more confident shooter and scorer as her senior season progressed. Her defense looked much improved as she plays better on-ball than before and overall, she’s become a Player of the Year-type prospect. <strong>No. 34: [player_tooltip player_id="401179" first="Meghan" last="Pedrani"] - 5-9 PG, Somerville</strong> Pedrani is a gifted two-sport athlete, playing both basketball and lacrosse at quite a high level. Her agility and quick-thinking on the lacrosse field has translated well over to the basketball court in recent years. Pedrani averaged 20.8 PPG as a senior and made nearly 2.6 three-pointers a game, controlling the ball well and very easily finding scoring lanes and open looks. She put on a shooting clinic every game she played and did a fantastic job this season of getting to the foul line. On average, Pedrani knocked down 5.6 free throws a game, so not only was she creating contact, but she was making opponents pay. <strong>No. 37: [player_tooltip player_id="401146" first="Grace" last="Klag"] - C, Westfield</strong> Talk about a breakout season, Klag did just that as a senior and helped catapult Westfield to winning its first-ever Group IV state title. She averaged a double-double this season, posting one in 18 of her 34 games played on the year. Klag is not just a great scorer and rebounder, one of the best at both in the region, but it’s her interior defense that has really caught our eye specifically. She’s a fantastic shot-blocker with room to grow in that area. It turns her into a triple threat whenever she’s on the floor. <strong>No. 41: [player_tooltip player_id="401205" first="Christina" last="Midgette"] - 5-10 PF, Franklin</strong> Midgette catapulted herself into the mix as one of the best forwards in the state with a fantastic 2021-22 season, averaging a double-double while recording 1.5 blocks a game and 2.6 steals a game. She seemingly re-tooled her game over the summer and came back an incredibly dominant player who can do just about anything on the floor. She's a gifted scorer and rebounder, able to make things happen in the lane as good as anyone can. Her defense, while underrated, carries her the most and has made her a superstar. <strong>No. 44: [player_tooltip player_id="401138" first="Sarah" last="Zimmerman"] - 5-8 SF, Lacey</strong> Zimmerman unfortunately didn't play during the Covid-shortened season, but put together a season very similar to her sophomore year for Lacey. The biggest part about the difference between her sophomore and seniors years is the improvements she made in her defense. While nearly averaging a season double-double for the second time in her career, her steals per game doubled for Lacey as a senior. She worked on lockdown defense and it paid off in a big way for her as she turned into one of the best defenders in the Shore Conference. <strong>No. 45: [player_tooltip player_id="401145" first="Amber" last="Williams"] - C, Jackson Memorial</strong> Williams was primarily a role player, a bench presence in her first two seasons on varsity for Jackson Memorial. However, things changed drastically for her as a senior as she averaged a double-double for the Jackson Memorial, recording 2.8 blocks a game and 1.8 steals a game. She put herself on the map in a big way for Jackson Memorial and played great the entire year, showing her worth as a scorer and rebounder. There were glimpses of the kind of success that Williams could have for Jackson Memorial and we finally saw her breakout year as a senior.
