Continue ReadingStock-Risers are the players who have stepped up their game and have made significant improvements on the court, causing their ranking to rise. These players have caught the attention of coaches, recruiters, and fans alike with their impressive performances, often outshining their competitors. In this article, we will highlight a few players in the 2024 class who have climbed the ranks and have made a significant impact in their senior season.
Braci is a smooth point guard that has proven in her career that she needs to be apart of the conversation of top players in the state of Oklahoma. The first thing that stands out is her ability to control the pace of the game with her handles and decision-making under pressure. She shoots the ball at a high-level and she continues to grow in her game. This school season she had another dominant performance, leading Seiling High School to a back-to-back Class A State Championship, State Tournament MVP and averaging around 20+ points a game. Braci needs to be on college coaches radar this summer as she plays for Southwest Elite 17U in the Select 40 Circuit.
Brianna is a player I had a chance to see in person for the first time at the Dynasty Kick-off in Dallas a few weeks ago. I was impressed within the first 2 minutes of watching her play. She plays with a winning attitude and showed many disciplines habits when in tough situations – such as sliding her feet and not jumping for pump fakes. Instead, she consistently would wall up and play with her hands up, which actually help her stop many positions. She will rebound and push the ball in the open floor with pace, but displays court awareness to get the ball to the point guard. She attacks the basket with a purpose, can get to the rim and finish, and hit the mid-range jumper.
Addy is a fun player to watch because she displays a balance game and presence on the court. She is a high-IQ player and coachable player you can depend on. Another part of Addy’s game you can depend on is her shooting ability. She is a shooter, and she does that at a high level. She can also put the ball on the floor and create off the dribble. She makes good decision and has the ability to get downhill in the dribble drive offense and finish at the rim.
Highlights
What can I say about Heaven Smith Heaven Smith 5’6″ | PG Kipp Tulsa | 2024 State OK ? This young lady is a problem! She is one of those players that come around once in a decade. She is so quick off the dribble going down hill and will find her open teammates. She is extremely creative when the ball is in her hands and knows how to keep the defender on their heels and creates space for her shot as well. Defensively, she has great lateral quickness and stays in from of the ball, as well as quick hands to get steals. She can shoot it from outside but she is at her best attacking the basket, using her creativity, and bringing energy on both ends of the floor.
