The 6-foot-8 center missed the majority of last season with a leg injury, but he has come roaring back, and has been absolutely dominant for Lenox this season as a senior; 21,3 points, 19.6 rebounds, 5.4 blocks, and 3.7 steals per game.
2 Luke Hudnutt 5.38
He had a very nice junior season, and played against stiff competition last summer with Cornsharks Select. The 6-foot-7 center is shooting 69 percent from the floor, averaging 20.5 points, and 11.6 rebounds per game this season.
3 Seth Weiland 5.2 BPG
Connor Sonius and Nate Paulus catch lots of headlines for West Hancock, but Weiland is throwing his name in the mix this season with his elite shot-blocking ability.
4 Jal Bijiek 4.8 BPG
Bijiek has burst onto the scene this season for the North Polar Bears, and has provided high-flying electricity to one one of 4A’s best teams. Just a junior, the 6-foot-7 junior has one offer from North Dakota, and could blow up next summer on the grassroots circuit.
T4 Ben Dentlinger 4.8 BPG
A New London junior, Dentlinger is a versatile threat for the Tigers; he can shoot it from deep, put it on the floor, and averages a double-double with points and rebounds.
6 Caleb Lomica 4.43 BPG
Lomica is the lone freshman to make this list. We caught a glimpse of him last summer at the Norwalk Team Camp, and his immense length and great instincts will make him a great shot-blocker for years to come for North Polk.
7 Grant Wishon 3.89 BPG
His Clarke Indians may be struggling, but Wishon is putting together a very nice junior season, averaging 10.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.9 blocks per game.
8 Devin Green 3.88 BPG
The Cascade and Iowa Barnstormer senior is the only player on this list who has signed to play college ball (Sioux Falls). Anybody who needs a shot-blocker – look up.
9 Dylan Dodson 3.8 BPG
Dodson has helped lead Camanche to a 7-3 start, and like every other players on this list, he leads his team in rebounding too.
10 Noah Juergensen 3.78 BPG
The Paton-Churdan senior has been wrecking havoc on opponents for the better part of two years. He has his Rockets out to a 7-3 start, thanks in large part to his 17.3 points, and 9.3 rebounds per game,
