No. 60 Luke Bara Luke Bara 6'1" | CG Muskego | 2021 State WI – Muskego/ World Hoops Elite
Has really good junior film. Kind of waiting to see that translate to the AAU circuit, but definitely a player that should have been ranked last year. Averaged 13.0 points per game as a junior. Quick first step on the ball and does a great job of creating space off the dribble. Also effective in the catch-and-shoot game and appears comfortable at either guard spot.
No. 105: Marcell Drone Marcell Drone 6'7" | PF Sheboygan South | 2021 State WI – Sheboygan South/ World Hoops Elite
Imposing post prospect with a lot of strength and explosiveness. Needs skill work, but is exciting as a plus-length forward with this type upper body strength. Quality weak-side shot blocker that sees ball and man at all times. Gets off the ground quickly when he catches and finishes in traffic. Does show some flashes in high school of being able to handle the ball on the perimeter and attack. On upside alone, Drone could definitely finish in the top 75 based on his senior season.
No. 106: Jackson Dudek Jackson Dudek 6'7" | PF Kimberly | 2021 State WI : – Kimberly/Wisconsin Crusaders
Undervalued reserve for Kimberly last season, averaging 1.5 points per game. Dudek has started to come into his own as a prospect. 6-foot-7 forward moves well for his size, scores around the rim effectively, and can slash from the high post a bit. High motor kid that rebounds, protects the rim, and takes care of the little things on the floor.
No. 127: Vinko Polovic Vinko Polovic 6'7" | PF Franklin | 2021 State WI – Franklin/ World Hoops Elite
Prospect that caught my attention on film. Has good size (6-6), length, and mobility. Appears to be just scratching the surface and a potential late bloomer in the 2021 class. Averaged 3.2 points per game for Franklin as a junior, but was consistently productive for World Hoops Elite from what I’ve seen and a player who has the ability to create some difficult matchups on the floor.
No. 129: Sam Burdette Sam Burdette 6'3" | SG Milton | 2021 State WI – Milton
Saw Burdette a few times last season. The junior guard shot the ball very well and was just deadly from 3-point range. Has a knack for knocking down game-changing triples. Also defends at a high level and plays the passing lanes. Burdette averaged 12.0 points per game during the 2020-21 season.
No. 130: Caden Nelson Caden Nelson 6'3" | SF Waunakee | 2021 State WI – Waunakee/Fox Valley Kings
Averaged 12.2 points per game as a junior. 6-foot-4 wing with a pretty looking jumper. Swingman spaces the floor very well and has extended range from beyond the arc. Prospect that can get hot and stay hot from 3-point range and is always ready to shoot. Has some defensive versatility as well, able to hold his own against bigger players in the post.
