<strong>Player Rankings Update: 2024 Stock Risers Pt. 2</strong>
<strong>No. 37 – 5-6 PG [player_tooltip player_id="360038" first="Aiyanna" last="Peavy"] – North Oconee
(Up from No. 56)
</strong>High-octane lefty with great speed. She’s a blur in transition and can shift defenders out of their shoes with her handle. Peavy has a pull-up jumper in her arsenal. She’s a streaky three-point shooter that can pour in multiple long balls in a hurry. Defensively, her quick hands often lead to turnovers. High Academic guard being tracked by D-I schools.
<strong>No. 38 – 5-11 F [player_tooltip player_id="372182" first="Nickyia" last="Daniel"] – Hebron Christian
(Up from No. 61)
</strong>Stretch forward is getting more comfortable handling the ball and attacking on the perimeter. Valuable rebounder and defender that can guard 3-5. Spaces the floor and knocks down the three.
<strong>No. 46 – 5-6 CG [player_tooltip player_id="364631" first="Addison" last="Hoard"] – Banks County
(Up from No. 73)
</strong>Well-rounded offensive threat that can shoot the three or create off the dribble. Does a good job of getting into the lane. Can play either guard position and will climb up recruiting boards over the course of her career.
<strong>No. 52 – 5-9 W [player_tooltip player_id="371801" first="Emma" last="Hempker"] – Denmark
(Up from No. 64)
</strong>Took a big leap her sophomore season, averaging 14.3 points and 5.5 rebounds. Hempker has a good build and good feel for the game. Plays at her own pace and gets to her spots. Perimeter scorer has a reliable outside shot.
<strong>No. 58 – 5-8 SG [player_tooltip player_id="269516" first="Ellie" last="Southards"] – Rabun County
(Up from No. 81)
</strong>Missed last season due to ACL tear but looked electric at the Sandy’s Spiel Spring Showcase, creating offense at will using a tight handle vs. pressure. Southards is an accurate three-point shooter and is a bowling ball of skill downhill, scoring with floaters and pull-ups. Uses her strength to her advantage when rebounding and defending. Highly polished player that is starting her ascent back up the rankings.
