6 Stock Risers From the “Get Ready, Go Live” (Houston,TX)

A slew of division one prospects were on hand for the Ball Out Event: “Get Ready, Go Live”. The TBB staff left Dobie High School with a handful of prospects that produced a strong argument on becoming a top 50-75 player in the respective class. There was an intriguing prospect out of East Texas and is Eddie Lampkin the top big man in 2020?

Ronnie Sanders, 2019 SG – DFW Defenders: The Crowley native put his talents on display all weekend. His ability to score off the dribble, defend impressed the TBB staff. Sanders against Texas Pro was vital in the Defenders win producing 15 points.

Biar Gurang, 2019 Wing – Stackz Elite: Biar comes from Australia and the talented wing is versatile, shoots it from beyond the arc and plays with a motor that rubs off to his teammates. Gurang will see himself in our TBB database in the 2019 class and has the chance to crack a top 50 slot in our rankings.

Delore Johnson, 2019 SG – Texas Pro: Johnson makes plays without the basketball and his ability to finish around the rim, punish opponents in the open court was on display at Dobie High School. Delore performed and his mix of skill and positional size will put him in our database.

Jackson Kennedy, 2019 CF – Ballers Nation: Another prospect that will definitley see himself in our rankings is Jackson Kennedy. The talented forward shot over 50% from three, finished above the rim and competed on the defensive side.If Kennedy carries this over to the Lonestar Challenge, the East Texas prospect could gain the attention from division one coaches.

Eddie Lampkin, 2020 C – Houston Defenders: Lampkin was the main attraction at “Get Ready, Go Live”. The Sophomore big man imposed his will on the block and possessing a slimmer frame than previous sitings, Eddie has shown the ability to finish above the rim in traffic. Lampkin has cracked a top 10 spot in his class and there is a strong argument on him being the top center in the 2020 class.

Bonke Maring, 2019 C – Houston Raptors: Bonke steps onto the scene and Maring was a walking double-double last weekend. Maring is still raw but he understands his strengths and is a good interior presence for the Raptors
