Top 10 players in Michigan regardless of class
This is part 2 in a series of articles looking at a top 40 regardless of class. In part 1, I looked at numbers 31-40.
Top 40 Regardless of Class: 31-40
Part 2 consisted of numbers 21-30.
Top 40 Regardless Of Class: 21-30
Now lets look at numbers 11-20. Keep in mind that this list will cover the classes of 2021-2023. It’s a huge compliment to be anywhere on this list, as all 40 players have the look of a D1 prospect. In addition, it’s generally easier to rank the upperclassmen higher simply because we’ve seen more. Please leave comments and what your version of the list would look like!

Tim Jordan Tim Jordan 6'7" | PF Saginaw Arthur Hill | 2023 TX (2023, PF, Saginaw Arthur Hill)
Jordan really turned heads this season and has established himself as 1 of the top post prospects in Michigan. Sky is the limit for this young athlete.

Tyson Davis Tyson Davis 5'10" | PG Goodrich | 2021 State MI (2021, PG, Goodrich)
Davis is an underrated floor general. The silky smooth athlete can play at any pace.

Jason Drake Jason Drake 6'2" | CG Ferndale | 2022 State MI (2022, SG, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s)
Drake is a top notch talent in the class of 2022. He can score in bunches and is a threat from anywhere on the floor.
#17
Curtis Williams Curtis Williams 6'5" | SF Brother Rice | 2023 State #93 Nation MI (2023, SF, Brother Rice)
Williams stormed onto the high school scene this season. He can attack the bucket and finish through contact. Williams has 1 of the highest ceilings of any player in Michigan.
#16
Braelon Green Braelon Green 6'3" | PG Southern California Academy | 2023 #95 Nation CA-S (2023, SG, Ypsilanti-Lincoln)
Green showed up as a freshman with a college ready frame. He has a mature game, allowing him to know when to attack and when to let the game come to him.
#15
RJ Taylor RJ Taylor 6'0" | PG Grand Blanc | 2023 State #262 Nation MI (2023, PG, Grand Blanc)
Taylor stepped into 1 of the most talented rosters in Michigan and made an immediate impact. In no time, he was their floor general and did a stellar job in that role.
#14
Orlando Lovejoy Orlando Lovejoy 6'3" | CG 1 of 1 Prep | 2022 State NC (2022, CG, Romulus Summit Academy)
Lovejoy has been shooting up the prospect rankings, and deservedly so. He’s an explosive scorer with good hip and horizontal movement.
#13
Julian Lewis Julian Lewis 6'5" | SG Ann Arbor Huron | 2021 State MI (2021, SG, Ann Arbor Huron)
Lewis has a collection of Division 1 offers and I’m sure there will be more to come. He’s one of the top perimeter defenders in Michigan.
#12
Foster Wonders Foster Wonders 6'5" | SF Iron Mountain | 2021 State MI (2021, SF, Iron Mountain)
In my opinion, Wonders will be a fan favorite at the next level. The young man is gritty and tough, and an energy player that doesn’t hesitate to bang with bigs for a board.
#11
Malik Olafioye Malik Olafioye 6'2" | PG Ecorse | 2023 State #149 Nation MI (2023, PG, Ecorse)
Olafioye will be at or near the top of this top 40 list in a year or 2. He’s a lightning bolt with the ball in his hands. He can score off his jumper or with great body control on a finish.
