Top 5 Stock Risers:

Boubacar Moungoro, 6’6”, 2014, E1T1

Stats: 22-31 (71%) FG’s, 7-11 (64%) 3PT, 13.3 PPG, 3.3 RBG, 2.8 APG

Boubacar Moungoro

Moungoro starts at small forward for one of the most talented teams on the Nike circuit and while his team added Duke commit Grayson Allen as well as center Trayvon Reed he still managed to shine in Plano this past weekend. Standing at 6’6” with a powerful build, Moungoro’s athleticism has never been in question its always been his production level. In his first game, Moungoro went 7-8 from the field and 2-3 from the three point line for 18 points. On Saturday night, he went 7-12 from the field and 4-5 from the three point line for another 18 points. In his four games, he mixed in solid outside shooting with athletic drives to the basket, usually getting to the rim in just one or two dribbles. While he shot 7-11 from the 3-point line, Moungoro only attempted three free throws in four games and pulled down more than four rebounds just once. With his size and strength, one would expect those numbers to increase over time. While Moungoro does not have the status of some of his other teammates, he did play a main role in their 4-0 weekend.

Reid Travis, 6’7”, 2014, Howard Pulley

Stats: 24-49 (49%) FG’s, 20-29 (69%) FTS, 17.3 PPG, 7 RBG

One of the most physically imposing power forwards on the Nike circuit added an offer from UCLA over the weekend to go along with the offers he has already received from a majority of Big 10 and Pac 12 schools. Travis flourished in the low post and attacked the rim with aggression any chance he got. In the first game of the weekend he shot 6-11 which included his lone three pointer for the weekend on his way to 19 points. On Saturday, he started his first game off on fire going against the 7’1” shot blocker in Trayvon Reed. In a matter of minutes, Reid threw down some hard two handed dunks and scored on several short shots in the paint. After his quick explosion, Reid came back down to earth in the second half and then struggled with the twin towers of Jahlil Okafor and Cliff Alexander in the nightcap. Despite struggling Saturday night, Reid had a great game on Sunday with 26 points and 9 rebounds on 11-15 shooting. As a coveted football recruit, Reid possesses a certain strength not usually seen on kids his age. He got to the line almost seven times a game and was always active on both ends of the court.

Benny Boatwright, 6’8”, 2015, Cal Supreme

Stats: 22-47 (47%) FG’s, 12-32 (38%) 3PT, 18 PPG, 8.3 RBG

The skinny 6’8” small forward from Southern California struggled on Friday night in his team’s blowout win, but came to play in the other 3 games. Against Alabama on Friday, Boatwright went 2-11 and 0-7 from three, but the rest of the weekend he knocked in 12 three-pointers while averaging 22 points and 9 rebounds on 56% shooting. Boatwright has a quick release on his shot and runs the floor well. Despite his frame, Boatwright was aggressive on the boards pulling in nine on Saturday night and 13 in a rivalry game with the Oakland Soldiers. Boatwright’s shooting ability is rare at his size and as he adds strength will most likely move up the ranks in the class of 2015.

Ed Simpson, 6’4”, 2014, Jackson Tigers

Stats: 16-40 (40%) FG’s, 9-22 (41%) 3PT, 11.3 PPG, 2.8 RBG, 1.3 APG

Ed Simpson

Simpson had his best day on Saturday scoring 24 points on five threes in a morning win against the Oakland Soldiers and then scored 13 against Spiece Indy during Malik Newman’s scoring explosion. Over the entire weekend Simpson hit 41% from deep despite struggling a bit in games 1 and 4. When Newman left the game against Spiece due to cramps with eight minutes to go, Simpson stepped up as the go-to guy on the Tigers. Simpson hit a few big shots but it wasn’t enough to hold off Trey Lyles down low. To go along with an impressive shooting stroke, Simpson has good size and athletic ability for a Division One shooting guard. He received his first offer from Boston University a few weeks ago.

Terry Larrier, 6’8”, 2014, Team Scan

Stats: 13-23 (57%) FG’s, 10.3 PPG, 3.7 RBG

Larrier is the same size and weight as Benny Boatwright but has a drastically different game. While Boatwright is a shooter, Larrier can be classified as a slasher. On Saturday, he came off the bench for Team Scan to score 10 and 17 points in two victories. In his third game of the tournament Larrier went 8-12 from the field. Throughout the weekend, both his agility in running the court and quickness slashing to the basket were on display. Despite the skinny frame, Larrier poses a threat on defense with his long arms and quick feet.
