First Team:
Milan Momcilovic Milan Momcilovic 6'8" | SF Pewaukee | 2023 State #44 Nation WI — 6-foot-7 — SF — Pewaukee
Momcilovic was very productive as a freshman at Pewaukee. The fastly developing small forward scored 14.8 points per game while leading the Pirates to a 15-9 record. In the 2020-21 season, look for Momcilovic to make the jump from good to great.
Mac Wrecke Mac Wrecke 6'5" | SG Arrowhead | 2023 State #272 Nation WI — 6-foot-3 — SG — Arrowhead
Playing on one of the better teams in the state last season, I was really impressed with Wrecke’s ability to play his role. Of course, he wasn’t the top guy, but the SG did a great job of doing whatever he was asked to do. This season, Wrecke could be the top prospect for Arrowhead.
Prentice Young Prentice Young 6'4" | CG Wisconsin Lutheran | 2023 State #273 Nation WI — 6-foot-4 — PG — Wisconsin Lutheran
Young has high major Division One potential. The 6-foot-4 point guard is an athletic player who is a terrific isolation scorer. With more opportunities available in his sophomore season, I think that Young will be able to become one of the top scorers in the state.
John Kinziger John Kinziger 6'0" | CG De Pere | 2023 State #257 Nation WI — 5-foot-11 — CG — De Pere
Speaking of top scorers, when it is all said and done, Kinziger could be the best bucket-getter in Wisconsin. As a freshman, he dropped 16.5 points per game. He doesn’t have the size, but there is no doubt that Kinziger has the skill.
Deshawn Webb — 6-foot-3 — SG — Living World Lutheran
Webb was super impressive during the 2020 summer AAU season. In his second high school campaign, I think that the shooting guard will pick up where he left off. The Living World Lutheran prospect is a long, athletic guard who will make a great college player.
Second Team:
Demerius Shakur Demerius Shakur 6'2" | CG Martin Luther | 2023 State WI — 6-foot-2 — CG — Martin Luther
I really liked what Shakur showed while playing with Wisconsin Playground Club in AAU. The combo guard played tough defense, pushed the pace in transition, and didn’t make too many mistakes. If Shakur is able to score the ball a bit more, then he could develop into a star.
Bennett McCormick — 6-foot-2 — SG — Catholic Memorial
McCormick didn’t have a huge freshman season in terms of numbers. But he did do a terrific job of making an impact this past summer on the Prep Hoops Circut. He is an athletic prospect who can shoot it well from outside.
Cal Klesmit Cal Klesmit 6'2" | CG Neenah | 2023 State #235 Nation WI –– 6-foot-1 — CG — Neenah
Cal — the younger brother of Wofford freshman Max Klesmit Max Klesmit 6'2" | SG Neenah | 2020 State #407 Nation WI — will look to make an impact for a talented Neenah squad as a sophomore. The combo guard is a very good passer and shooter. Expect the lefty to make a name for himself in the 2020-21 season.
Riley Brooks Riley Brooks 6'5" | SG Ripon | 2023 State #289 Nation WI — 6-foot-4 — SG– Ripon
From what I have seen on film, Brooks could be in for a breakout season as a sophomore. With the ball in his hands, Brooks is very dangerous due to his ability to score at all three levels. As a freshman, he averaged just under 12 points per game.
Robert Peters Robert Peters 6'8" | PF West Allis Hale | 2023 State WI — 6-foot-7 — PF — West Allis Hale
Peeters might have the highest upside out of all the prospects in the 2023 class. He is a lanky power forward that can block shots and score really well around the rim. Look to see the West Allis Hale prospect make a lot of improvements this season.
Third Team:
Braylen Blue Braylen Blue 6'3" | PG Madison Memorial | 2023 State WI — 6-foot-3 — PG — Madison Memorial
Because he didn’t get the chance to play in the AAU season, Blue did not get the opportunity to raise his stock. However, that does not mean that the point guard has not caught the eyes of college programs. He recently snagged a scholarship offer from Washington.
Ashe Oglesby Ashe Oglesby 6'6" | PF The Prairie School | 2023 State WI — 6-foot-6 — PF — The Prairie School
Playing up with a 17U squad this summer, I was really impressed with Oglesby’s physical stature and basketball skill. He was strong enough to hold up in the paint and talented enough to make some nice plays around the rim.
Logan Arndt Logan Arndt 6'2" | SG Oconomowoc | 2023 State WI — 6-foot-2 — SG — Oconomowoc
Arndt earned a spot on this third team with his terrific summer. Playing with ABC Young Lions on the Prep Hoops Circuit, the shooting guard played with great effort and had no quit in him. In his sophomore campaign, look for Arndt to be a nice addition to Oconomowoc.
Landon Key Landon Key 6'4" | SF Wisconsin Lutheran | 2023 State WI — 6-foot-3 — SF — Wisconsin Lutheran
I think that Wisconsin Lutheran could have a really special player in Key. The 6-foot-3 prospect is a bit undersized for the small forward position, but what he lacks in size, he makes up with skill. The SF is a pure scorer that can fill it up from all three levels.
Luther Smith Luther Smith 6'1" | SG Sussex Hamilton | 2023 State WI — 5-foot-11 — SG — Sussex Hamilton
Because Sussex Hamilton was so loaded last season, Smith didn’t really get a chance to make his mark. But after the Chargers lost a couple of players to graduation, I think that the shooting guard now will have a chance to earn some more playing time.
