Here’s a quick look at the top 15 players:
Will Obioha Will Obioha 6'6" | SF Grand Forks Red River | 2021 ND , Grand Forks Red River
Obioha didn’t partake in the grassroots season but he remains the top prospect in the state because of his combination of skill, athleticism and potential. At 6-foot-6, he’s capable of guarding at least three positions at a high level while possessing high-end help defensive potential. He’s a strong finisher who excels off the ball, and has shown the ability to shoot it.
Carson Lamp Carson Lamp 6'0" | SG Jamestown | 2021 State ND , Jamestown
Lamp is the definition of rock-solid and he just keeps producing at a high level. He was an all-state guy as a junior, helping lead Jamestown to the state semifinals. And he was the best player for ECI over the summer. He’s a good shooter, a natural playmaker and a tough-as-nails defender.
Jacksen Moni Jacksen Moni 6'9" | PF West Fargo Sheyenne | 2021 State ND , West Fargo Sheyenne
Moni is the best pure big man in the state thanks to his defensive acumen. At 6-foot-9, Moni combines excellent size and length with great smarts. He’s mobile enough to get out and guard on the perimeter when needed, and he utilizes his length to alter shots around the rim without fouling.
Owen Hektner Owen Hektner 6'6" | SF Fargo Davies | 2021 State ND , Fargo Davies
Hektner spent the grassroots season playing with the Pentagon Schoolers and while he didn’t have a lot of opportunity to shine offensively, he showed that he’s capable of being a positive player in just about any role on any team. He’s a multipositional defender who doesn’t need the ball to make an impact.
Gunner Swanson Gunner Swanson 6'5" | SF Bismarck | 2021 State ND , Bismarck
Swanson’s been a steady riser over the course of the last year. He was terrific as a junior with Bismarck, helping lead the Demons to the state semifinals, and was a high-impact guy with ECI over the summer. He’s athletic and can guard three positions, he shoots it at a high level, he scores on cuts and he rebounds enough to play up a position.
Gavin Keller Gavin Keller 6'9" | PF Kindred | 2021 State ND , Kindred
Keller is one of the best bigs in the state and showed over the summer with ECI that he can defend at the rim, score around the paint and step away from the rim and hit shots. He needs to get stronger, but he’s got as much potential in terms of next-level ability as just about anybody in the class.
Jase Crockett Jase Crockett 5'10" | PG Northern Cass | 2021 State ND , Northern Cass
Crockett is one of the most dynamic lead guards in the state and can fill it up, ignite a team with his defense and make plays at a high level. He’s strong, he’s quick and he’s aggressive. He’s got all-state potential as a senior and could be one of the top scorers in the state.
Lucas Schumacher Lucas Schumacher 6'2" | SG Linton | 2021 State ND , Linton/HMB
Schumacher had a lot of good moments over the summer on the grassroots circuit, showing he’s got the athleticism and skill to compete against high-level competition. He’s a capable playmaker who can shoot it in spot-up situations, and defend at a high level.
Deonte Martinez Deonte Martinez 5'10" | PG Minot | 2021 State ND , Minot
Martinez is a feisty, tough lead guard who gets it done on both ends of the floor. He was a welcome addition to ECI this summer, providing a jolt in transition and on the defensive end. He’s an excellent finisher despite being undersized and uses his strength to his advantage on both ends.
Jesse White Jesse White 5'11" | PG White Shield | 2021 State ND , White Shield
White is one of the most dynamic players in the state and flys under the radar a little bit because of his location. He stuffed the stat sheet during his junior season, averaging 24 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. Expect those to be even more robust as a senior.
Wyatt Enno Wyatt Enno 6'2" | SF Turtle Mountain | 2021 State ND , Turtle Mountain
Enno missed his entire junior season with an injury but showed very few signs of rust over the summer with ND Phenom. He’s got the size to play on the wing or up in a lineup, the skill to present matchup problems and the smarts on both ends of the floor.
Brooks Carroll Brooks Carroll 6'3" | SF Jamestown | 2021 State ND , Jamestown
Carroll is one of the top wings in the state and arguably the state’s best pure shooter. He’s a lot more than just a shooter though, as he’s a strong defender, a good cutter off the ball, and an improved playmaker.
Jayce Lowman Jayce Lowman 6'3" | SG Mandan | 2021 State ND , Mandan
Lowman is a big riser in the updated rankings, as he was solid over the summer with ND Attack. The Mandan swingman is just so steady in so many areas of the game. He’s an outstanding long-range shooter off the catch and the bounce, a versatile defender on the perimeter and a rock-solid playmaker.
Caleb Duffield Caleb Duffield 5'10" | PG Bowman County | 2021 State ND , Bowman County
Duffield’s been one of the best pure scorers in Class B the last couple seasons and he’ll have the keys for the Bulldogs as a senior. He showed during the grassroots season that he can get hot and pile up points as fast as any individual player in the state. He’s a competitive defender and shows the ability to get guys involved off the dribble.
Tristin Davis Tristin Davis 6'2" | PG Turtle Mountain | 2021 State ND , Turtle Mountain
Davis is another big riser after not only a strong junior year but an excellent summer with ND Phenom. He’s a big, athletic guard who defends at a high level, rebounds effectively, score from just about anywhere on the floor and make the game easier for his teammates.
