2026 Rankings Update: Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is not a whole lot of movement throughout the list,<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='486445' first='Salena' last='Carrasco']</strong> jumps into that number<strong> 5 </strong>spot while <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='510469' first='Kennedy' last='Simpson']</strong> and<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='486406' first='Madison' last='Crawford'] </strong>close the <strong>Top 10</strong> out at <strong>#9</strong> and<strong> #10 </strong>yet I'll get to see some players who I haven't seen, some in a couple of seasons, due to the numerous platforms as well as my inability to clone myself or learn how to probably teleport but expect this list to change after the Holiday Tournament updates, here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["486456"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670801e7574b4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Milton has shown me she could score multiple ways since middle school yet I always say you go from good to <strong>GREAT</strong> when you make those around you better.

She's not only long and athletic, she's strong and powerful and with her standing above THE MAGIC NUMBER, her ability to control the paint, on both ends of the court stood out to me in the July viewing period. Her timing to block shots has improved each season, she rebounds on both ends and defends both in and outside the paint. Her hands and footwork keep getting better as she scores with either hand</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510470"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6707ff091f077"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Steele moves up 6 slots to #38 and having not seen her in way over a year, her transformation had me rolling through the roster trying to see who she was. She's added muscle and was overpowering both off the dribble, as well as around the basket to score. Her midrange looked good, and so did her court vision yet her rebounding and defense also stood out</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["855744"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6707ff091f0d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dickson also moved up 6 slots as I caught bits and pieces of her via LIVESTREAM. She does a good job of creating her shot under pressure as well as creating spacing to get it off and drop it, from mid to long-range. She also uses a deceptive first step to set the defender up to score or dish off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["486414"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6707ff091f134"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Topping moves up double digits and based on what I saw in July, she's probably going to keep rising. Her coming from out of nowhere to block shots had me smiling, well so did her playing the passing lane and handling the ball afterward yet her rebounding and getting the outlet going on one end or scoring on putbacks on the other shows her growth. The defense was solid, and so was her short jumper and scoring off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
