Jackson Green Jackson Green 5'11" | CG Madison Memorial | 2023 WI — 5-foot-11 — Catholic Memorial
I thought that Green did some positive things this summer in the AAU season. On Sunday at the Top 250 Expo, the Catholic Memorial point guard continued to play really well. Even though he missed a couple of open shots, he still kept his head in the game. Green is an outstanding ball-handler who does a terrific job of pushing the ball in transition and finding open teammates. If he continues to develop, then I think Green could become a very attractive prospect in the 2023 class.
Cal Klesmit Cal Klesmit 6'2" | CG Neenah | 2023 State #235 Nation WI — 6-foot-1 — Neenah
Love the confidence that Klesmit plays with. With the ball in his hands, the Neenah point guard is a gifted passer who always seems to find the open teammate. As a scorer, Klesmit is also very impressive. He is a shifty guard who can get to the rim and score with ease. He also is a volume shooter who has shown signs of becoming a dangerous player from three as well.
Jamisen Young Jamisen Young 6'0" | PG Sunrise Christian Academy | 2023 KS — 6-foot — Bradford
Young’s stock continues to go through the ceiling. The Bradford point guard has an elite finishing package at the rim. Once he beats you off the dribble, it is a wrap. He may be a bit undersized, but he is still able to convert on difficult layups in the paint. Young is also a terrific defender who is always going to leave it all on the court.
Logan Arndt Logan Arndt 6'2" | SG Oconomowoc | 2023 State WI — 6-foot-2 — Oconomowoc
I think that Arndt could be a breakout player this season for Oconomowoc. The 6-foot-2 shooting guard is capable of going off for 20 points, but even when he isn’t making shots, he still does all of the little things that impact winning. Arndt grabs rebounds, plays tough defense, and dives on loose balls. His talent paired with effort has propelled him to the top of the 2023 class.
Arhman Lewis Arhman Lewis 5'9" | PG Madiosn Laffollette | 2023 State WI — 5-foot-9 — Madison Lafollette
Lewis is a speedy guard who really makes an impact on both ends of the court. On Sunday, he did a nice job of running his team’s offense and guarding the opposing squad’s best guard. With the ball in his hands, Lewis can use his speed to blow by defenders and finish at the cup. However, if you give him too much space, then Lewis is good enough as a shooter to knock down a long range shot.
Hogan Demovsky — 5-foot-11 — De Pere
On Sunday, I was really impressed with what Demovsky was able to do on offense with the ball in his hands. The 5-foot-11 guard out of De Pere has a good looking shot from deep. He also showed an ability to convert on tough layups at the rim. In three games at the Expo, the guard put up 68 points. Expect college coaches to take a look at Demovsky as he continues to develop as a player.
Darius Chestnut — 6-foot — Sun Prairie
In the game that I saw Chestnut play, I think I only saw him miss one shot from three. The 6-foot guard was on fire, as he made multiple shots from deep in both halves. I didn’t see a lot of other things from Chestnut, but it does not really matter because he was such an outstanding shooter.
