Player: Braysen Stockman
Class: 2026
Height: 6’2
School: Ben Lippen
South Carolina has brought us a lot of talent to look at and learn more about, as we continue to shine light around the state of players that many should be on the lookout for. 26 6’2 Braysen Stockman from Ben Lippen would be a player to watch more and I’m eager to see how he can surpass a strong sophomore season in which he posted averages of 20.4ppg, 10.2rpg, 3.5apg, and 2.5spg. When talking about Stockman’s game, there is a lot to like about his motor and impact, as he can really flourish as an offensive weapon. Again, he averaged over 20 points per game and did so in a variety of ways, finishing the season with 81 3-pointers on 35 percent shooting from behind the arc, as well as being a reliable prospect in getting downhill. Stockman makes high-IQ decisions and understands how to lead his team. Over the years he has played high school ball, Stockman has been incredibly consistent and we expect him to continue that trend this upcoming season.
SC Top 80 Evaluation:
“Moving onto a player who showcased an enticing amount of two-way ability, Braysen Stockman. He’s a smart, unselfish, high-motor guard prospect with excellent scoring polish and quality playmaking skills. Stockman is a reliable perimeter shooter, both off the catch and bounce, but also gets downhill and applies nice pressure as a penetrator. He contains his assignment well defensively, forces turnovers at a healthy rate, and makes hustle plays as needed. Stockman knows how to run a team, but is capable of playing with or without the ball in his hands. Next in his development process is working on his ability to move without the ball, as it would make him a more complete player. Coach Layman on Stockman: “Braysen is a solid guard with the ability to handle the ball and create for others. Displays the ability to use ball screens, get paint touches, and make good decisions as a playmaker. Shoots the ball well from beyond the arc.” Stockman did a lot of things well at camp and should maintain his status as a focal point for Ben Lippen over the foreseeable future.”
