Moving Forward: Front court stock risers

Charles Lewis III, Griffin Grasshoppers (GGE)

2027 forward, Charles Lewis has good size and a good skillset to match. At 6'7", 215 pounds, Lewis is difficult to deal with when he gets good post position, but he's also shown that he can operate on the perimeter. Charles can put the ball on the floor and create for himself and also step out and knock down the jumper.

Bronx Patterson, Five Star

Bronx Patterson (2029) impressed the RYZE staff in this past weekend's Showcase with his skillset and motor. He's the youngest player on the list but he plays with the skill of a more experienced player. Bronx does a good job of carving out space, putting himself in rebounding position, and pursuing the offensive and defensive rebound. Patterson offsets his lack of height with toughness, touch at the rim, and patience in the post.

Aiden Cooper, Team Bo Bell

Aiden Cooper (2028) showed his versatility over the weekend at the RYZE Hoops Showcase. Cooper was able to step out and knock down the three, hit some mid-range shots off the dribble, and was able to use the threat of the shot to get downhill off the dribble. Cooper's ability to play on the perimeter and the post makes him a tough cover.

Aaron Adams, Stars Basketball (Tennessee)

Aaron Adams can play both the small forward and power forward positions comfortably but where he's most impactful is at the stretch-four position. Adams works both the offensive and defensive glass well, he can lead the break and initiate offense, and has does a good job of winning his individual matchup most of the time.
