To preview the upcoming 2020-21 season, Prep Hoops Wisconsin looks at some of the top juniors in the state:
First Team:
Jeffery Brazziel
JefferyBrazziel6'4" | SFMartin Luther | 2022State#186NationWI -- SF -- Martin Luther
Brazziel wasn’t able to suit up for his sophomore season because of the WIAA’s transfer rules. So in his junior season, I expect big things from the Martin Luther small forward. He is an athletic prospect that has improved as a shooter and defender since we last saw him in a high school setting.
Leon Bond
LeonBond6'5" | PFWauwatosa East | 2022StateWI -- SF -- Wauwatosa East
Bond hasn’t been known to put up huge numbers during his time at Wauwatosa East. However, this season I think that the small forward is ready for a breakout year. During the summer AAU season, Bond showed that he is a much more complete player. Expect big things from Bond in his junior campaign.
Seth Trimble
SethTrimble5'11" | PGMenomonee Falls | 2022StateWI -- PG -- Menomonee Falls
When it is all said and done, I think that Trimble will be very close to earning the top spot in Wisconsin’s 2022 class. The athletic point guard is a tremendous scorer who also does a very good job of leading his team on

When it is all said and done, I think that Trimble will be very close to earning the top spot in Wisconsin’s 2022 class. The athletic point guard is a tremendous scorer who also does a very good job of leading his team on both sides of the ball. Arizona State, TCU, and USC have all offered the talented PG.
Steven Clay
StevenClay6'5" | SFMenomonee Falls | 2022StateWI -- SF -- Menomonee Falls
Clay has one of the highest upsides out of all the prospects on this list. The small forward out of Menomonee Falls is a long, skilled player that is one of the most difficult players to guard in the state. As a slasher and scorer, the SF is as good as it gets.
Jack Rose
JackRose6'4" | SGWestosha Central | 2022StateWI -- SG -- Westosha Central
Rose has made his mark as one of the best prospects in the junior class. The Westosha Central shooting guard is a talented scorer who can also pass the ball and play really tough defense. I love how hard Rose plays every single time he laces up his shoes.
Second Team:
Maximus Nelson
MaximusNelson6'7" | PFAppleton North | 2022StateWI -- SF -- Appleton North
I really like where Nelson’s game is trending. Earlier in his career, Nelson relied on his outside shooting to find success. But now, it seems like Nelson is looking to flex his muscles in the paint. His post-game is improving and Nelson has been much more active on the glass.
Danilo Jovanovich
DaniloJovanovich6'6" | PFWhitnall | 2022StateWI -- SF -- Whitnall
Jovanovich is a very intriguing prospect. In the post, the Whitnall small forward is a crafty scorer that can get buckets with either hand. He is also a dangerous slasher and a good outside shooter. In his junior season, I think that the small forward is poised to shoot up the rankings.
Jackson Paveletzke
JacksonPaveletzke6'0" | SGKimberly | 2022StateWI -- CG -- Kimberly
I love the way that Paveletzke plays the game. The combo guard does a great job of making an impact on both sides of the court. On offense, he is able to pick his spots and put tremendous stress on opposing defenses. On defense, he is a great on-ball defender who can get a lot of steals.
Armani Jones
ArmaniJones5'8" | PGBrown Deer | 2022StateWI -- PG -- Brown Deer
Don’t let Jones’ 5-foot-8 stature fool you. The point guard out of Brown Deer is a speedy guard who many defenders will struggle to stay in front of. He may be limited in other areas, but in terms of offensive skills, Jones is as good as it gets.
Ashton Janowski
AshtonJanowski6'2" | CGPewaukee | 2022StateWI -- CG -- Pewaukee
Janowski is a player that college coaches should not sleep on. The Pewaukee combo guard is an underrated scorer who has a very well rounded game. He can pass, defend, and rebound. If the CG continues to play at a high level, it will only be a matter of time until he earns a scholarship offer.
Third Team:
Donovan ShortDonovanShort6'9" | PFDenmark | 2022StateWI -- PF -- Denmark
Short is a high upside prospect that is in for a terrific junior season. The versatile power forward can use his size really well in the post, but also has guard-like skills on the outside. USC and UW-Milwaukee have recently offered roster spots to the Denmark standout.
Amari JedkinsAmariJedkins6'7" | PFRacine Case | 2022StateWI -- PF -- Racine Case
Jedkins is a high upside prospect that is going to catch the eyes of many college coaches in the future. His athleticism and length will be a problem for opposing squads. He does such a good job of putting his fingerprints all over the game.
Jack Campion
JackCampion5'10" | PGMilton | 2022StateWI -- PG -- Milton
Campion is a special point guard that will make a great player at the next level. The Milton product is a speedy prospect who has great court vision, which he uses to get teammates involved. He is also very good ball-handler and sneaky good defender. I think that Campion will lead Milton to a great season in 2020-21.
Najashi Tolefree
NajashiTolefree6'5" | SFWest Allis Central | 2022StateWI -- SF -- West Allis Central
This summer, Tolefree did a lot to raise his stock on the AAU circuit. The small forward plays with a lot of passion and fire. On defense, he uses his length and athletic ability to thrive. On offense, he is able to slash to the rim and score well around the bucket.
Andrew Alia
AndrewAlia6'2" | SGKenosha St. Joseph | 2022StateWI -- SG -- Kenosha St. Joseph
Because he plays for a smaller school, Alia doesn't get enough praise. The shooting guard is a very good shooter and scorer that will be a phenomenal addition to a college roster. Don't let Alia fly under the radar.
