1. Milan Momcilovic Milan Momcilovic 6'8" | SF Pewaukee | 2023 State #44 Nation WI – Forward – Pewaukee
Based on his size, skillset, and versatility, Momcilovic is the clear cut guy for the number one spot. Momcilovic joined Pewaukee’s varsity squad midseason and showed some dominant stretches and a very high upside going forward. The 6-foot-6 freshman has a sweet shooting touch and the ability to score from inside or out. His ball handling and fluidity as a big man just screams mismatch nightmare.
Usually like to see prospects after they make that usual jump physically between year one and year two before we peg levels on them, but Momcilovic certainly feels like a high major prospect if he progresses the way we think he will.
2. Prentice Young Prentice Young 6'4" | CG Wisconsin Lutheran | 2023 State #273 Nation WI – Small Forward – Wisconsin Lutheran
Projecting a little bit here, but when you see a 6-foot-4 freshman with length, athleticism, and a budding skillset, it’s generally just a matter of time before he takes off. Young shows a lot of flashes right now, but those flashes are consistent enough to place him at the No. 2 spot.
Young excites as a slasher and transition threat. He’s also got serious two-way potential as someone who can cause havoc on the defensive end and turn defense into offense. With the way he can handle the ball and attack the basket from different areas of the floor, Young may be able to play anywhere on the perimeter when all is said and done, including point guard.
3. Mac Wrecke Mac Wrecke 6'5" | SG Arrowhead | 2023 State #272 Nation WI – Wing – Arrowhead
Wrecke is ahead of the curve when it comes to the rest of this freshman class. He played a big role for Arrowhead as a freshman and could handle the speed and physicality of the varsity game without having that deer in the headlights look that you often see from young players. That begs the question, how much upside is left?
Regardless, he’s an athletic wing who can shoot the basketball and doesn’t make the game harder than it has to be. Wrecke plays to his strengths and doesn’t try and be anything that he’s not. A blue collar, high-motor prospect that can affect the game in a variety of ways, look for Wrecke to have a big sophomore season as Arrowhead replaces Carter Gilmore Carter Gilmore 6'7" | SF Arrowhead | 2020 State #250 Nation WI .
4. Deshawn Webb Deshawn Webb 6'3" | CG Milwaukee Academy of Science | 2023 State WI – Forward – Living Word Lutheran
Really good measurables here. Webb is a kid that can play and defend a variety of positions at 6-foot-3. A long, athletic wing, Webb is a dynamic open floor player. Stats-wise, Webb had a very strong freshman season, but physically and skills-wise, he’s still quite raw, which will give him a chance to compete for the No. 1 spot down the road.
5. John Kinziger John Kinziger 6'0" | CG De Pere | 2023 State #257 Nation WI – Guard – De Pere
Perhaps the best shooter in this class, Kinziger shot 42 percent from 3-point range as a freshman while averaging better than 15 points per game. A really strong spot-up shooter, Kinziger can absolutely light it up from downtown when he gets in rhythm. The 5-foot-10 guard works really well off the ball and understands how to read defenders and free himself for clean looks while working off the ball.
6. Robert Peters Robert Peters 6'8" | PF West Allis Hale | 2023 State WI – Forward – West Allis Hale
A lot of size and length on this youngster. The 6-foot-7 forward moves very well and shows some flashes of being able to stretch the floor. Perimeter and transition skills need some work, but Peeters has a nice face-up game, can protect the rim as a shot blocker, and looks really good running the floor.
7. Riley Brooks Riley Brooks 6'5" | SG Ripon | 2023 State #289 Nation WI – Shooting Guard – Ripon
Really good blend of size and skill here. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard has the tools to be an outstanding scorer over the next three years. Able to score on and off the ball, Brooks is comfortable shooting off the catch or off the bounce, creating and pulling up while going to his right, and just doesn’t see the contest from the defender when he goes to rise and fire.
8, Luther Smith Luther Smith 6'1" | SG Sussex Hamilton | 2023 State WI – Guard – Sussex Hamilton
Was a valuable spot-up shooter for Sussex Hamilton as a freshman. Given all the talent the Chargers had, didn’t see Smith’s full repertoire, but he’s a fast, athletic guard that also defends by getting into people and shutting off straight-line drives using his lateral quickness.
9. Braylen Blue Braylen Blue 6'3" | PG Madison Memorial | 2023 State WI – Guard – Madison Memorial
Blue played junior varsity as a freshman, so it’s tough to compare him to the rest of the top 10 right now. Already 6-foot-3, Blue is perhaps the best playmaker in this class. Blue has terrific positional size, sees the floor, and feels things opening up before they happen. There are already a handful of mid-major schools who have extended an offer here.
10. Ashe Oglesby Ashe Oglesby 6'6" | PF The Prairie School | 2023 State WI – Power Forward – The Prairie School
Oglesby is a strong and powerful prospect with some intriguing athleticism for his build. Averaging around 11 points per game as a freshman, Oglesby can play above the rim, set the tone around the basket, and get up and down in transition. While he’s a force on the interior, Oglesby also knocked down 20 triples from beyond the arc last season.
