10. Carson Roubicek Carson Roubicek 5'11" | CG Douglas County West | 2021 State NE – 6’0 – Combo Guard
Roubicek has great vision and creativity to throw on target bounce, behind the back, one handed and lob passes. As a scorer, he has deep range on his three point shot and can create for himself off the dribble or working around screens. Roubicek has a clear feel for the game and will continue to climb the rankings if he can follow up on his impressive junior season. He averaged 15.0 ppg, 3.7 apg, 4.2 rpg, and 1.1 spg.
9. Lane Fox Lane Fox 5'11" | PG Conestoga | 2021 State NE – 5’11 – Point Guard
Fox was one of the top scorers in the state as a junior and a tough matchup in Class C1. He plays with great energy and effort, moves without the ball, and scraps for rebounds. He creates offense for his team with ball movement and vision to find open shooters. He can score from all three levels and has multiple scoring moves at the basket. Fox stuffed the stat sheet; averaging 20.7 ppg, 6.5 apg, 5.4 rpg, and 1.3 spg.
8. Kaden Glynnn – 6’1 – Small Forward
Glynn is a strong scoring wing with some ball handling ability. He can finish through contact and is tough to stop with the ball in transitions. He shoots well off the catch from three and can make difficult shots off the dribble in the mid-range. Before transferring to Beatrice for his junior year, Glynn won a D2 state championship with Johnson-Brock in 2019.
7. Trey Deveaux Trey Deveaux 6'5" | PF Norris | 2021 State NE – 6’4 – Power Forward
Deveaux is a long forward that aggressively attacks the basket from the perimeter and finishes at a high rate. He has good footwork around the basket and uses spin moves, up and unders, and euro steps to score. He uses his length and athleticism to finish over defenders and cleanup his teammates and his own misses. Deveaux averaged 13.5 ppg, 6.3 rpg, and 53 FG% as a junior.
6. Brady Timmm – 5’10 – Point Guard
Timm is a pass first guard that can collapse defenses with dribble penetration and kick to shooters or find posts floating near the basket for easy looks. He forces turnovers and gets steals defensively with active hands and has speed and strength to be a solid defender. Timm and the Yutan Chieftains finished 3rd in the Class C2 state championships.
