No. 28 Andrew Keller Andrew Keller 6'5" | PF Waunakee | 2022 State WI – Waunakee
Looking back on last season, there’s times where I feel like Keller belongs in the top 25. The stats don’t tell the whole story about Keller. Waunakee was one of the most balanced teams in the state and has an equal opportunity offense. When the Warriors needed a bucket, Keller seemed to be the guy that wanted to take over most however. He’s a little undersized at 6-foot-5, but makes up for it with his ability to shoot from 3-point range or put the ball on the deck and attack. Also a standout wide receiver/tight end in football, Keller has some really good length to him. Keller also has very good instincts defensively and protects the rim or holds up 1-on-1 in the post.
No. 36 Bradley Bell Bradley Bell 6'6" | PF Westosha Central | 2022 WI – Westosha Central
Tall, lanky post prospects tend to develop late. Bell could be overrated here at No. 36 as of today, but his development is on the right path. Bell has the right idea of what he needs to do to be successful. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has worked hard to develop a consistent jumper and can hit from just about anywhere on the floor. He’s got a couple of go-to finesse post moves that allow him to score near the rim if needed. Bell also uses his length well to attack the offensive glass and generate second chance opportunities. I also like his ability to protect the rim for the weak-side. Most of the skills seem to be coming along. Now, it’s a matter of Bell growing into his body and adding strength and explosiveness.
No. 52 Noah Feddersen Noah Feddersen 6'9" | PF Menomonie | 2022 State WI – Menomonie
A lot of buzz about this post prospect and his development. Feddersen showed a lot of flashes as a sophomore and moves very well for a 6-foot-9 sophomore. Also able to play tight end in football, Feddersen has some intriguing athleticism and mobility. Feddersen can run the floor and do some exciting things with the ball in his hands. Still quite raw physically, Feddersen does have somewhat of a face-up game or step away from the rim and shoot the basketball. There’s a good chance he shoots way up this list by this time next year.
No. 54 Marshaun Harriel Marshaun Harriel 5'11" | PG Janesville Craig | 2022 WI – Janesville Craig
Have only seen Harriel once, but I like what he brings to the table. A very fast guard who can get up and down the floor, Harriel is a nightmare to track in transition. He’s very confident on the ball and handles pressure well. When his offense is struggling, Harriel can deliver in isolation settings and live at the rim. One of those guards who sees things before they happen, Harriel has a knack for drive and dish basketball. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Harriel and Craig make a splash in the Big Eight next season.
No. 62 Luke Fernholz Luke Fernholz 6'2" | SF Stoughton | 2022 State WI – Stoughton
Fernholz should help soften the blow of losing Adam Hobson Adam Hobson 6'4" | SF Stoughton | 2020 State WI for the Vikings. A prospect that a lot of people don’t know about, Fernholz is a blue collar, high motor combo forward that plays bigger than his size. Fernholz is a tone setter and provides a lot of toughness on the floor. He’s also got some skills as a ball handler and shows some potential to create mismatch problems.
No. 63 Devon Fielding Devon Fielding 6'1" | PG La Crosse Central | 2022 State WI – La Crosse Central
With the Davis brothers gone, I think you’ll see Fielding step up in a big way next season. Fielding had a tough task of trying to elevate his play on a very strong team while stepping in for Noah Parcher at the point guard spot. Yet, he continued to get better and better as the season wore on and became one of the x-factors for the Red Raiders. A high-IQ floor general who’s a decisive decision-maker, Fielding has a lot of the intangibles you look for in a point guard, specifically his ability to remain poised and calm down the stretch in tight games.
No. 71 Parker Thompson Parker Thompson 6'5" | SF Wauwatosa East | 2022 State WI – Wauwatosa East
Saw this kid come up huge in some big spots last season. With John Lovelace John Lovelace 6'4" | SF Brown Deer | 2021 State WI moving over to Brown Deer, Thompson should have an increased role next season. A 6-foot-5 stretch forward, Thompson is deadly from the corners and feeds of Tosa East’s wealth of talent very well. With defenses focused on Brian Parzych Brian Parzych 6'2" | PG Wauwautosa East | 2021 State WI and Leon Bond Leon Bond 6'5" | SF Wauwatosa East | 2022 State #62 Nation WI , Thompson has a chance to provide some needed floor spacing ability.
