David Joplin David Joplin 6'8" | SF Brookfield | 2021 State #54 Nation WI — 2021 — SF — Brookfield Central
After having a really good summer, Joplin continued to show why he is considered one of the best prospects in the 2021 class. The Texas commit scored 24 points on 9-15 shooting in the first game of his senior season. One of the more encouraging developments in the SF’s game is his outside shot. On Tuesday, he converted on six three-point shots.
Ben Nau Ben Nau 6'1" | PG Brookfield Central | 2021 State WI — 2021 — PG — Brookfield Central
If Nau is going to give Brookfield Central 22 points on a consistent basis, I am not sure that any squad will be able to beat the Lancers. The point guard is more known for his defense and shooting stroke. In BC’s big win over Germantown, the St. Thomas commit missed just one shot from the field and did a tremendous job of keeping his team organized at all times.
Patrick Baldwin Jr. Patrick Baldwin Jr. 6'9" | SF Sussex Hamilton | 2021 State #2 Nation WI — 2021 — SF — Sussex Hamilton
Baldwin Jr. added another page to his book that is filled with unbelievable performances at the high school level. Even though his squad wasn’t able to get the win, the small forward scored 43 points on 16 made shots from the field. Expect Baldwin putting up huge scoring numbers to become a common sight in the 2020-21 season.
Alex Singleton Alex Singleton 6'4" | PF Wauwatosa East | 2021 State WI — 2021 — PF — Wauwatosa East
I still don’t think that Singleton gets enough recognition from people around the state. Every time the 2021 PF puts on his jersey, he performs at a high level. In addition to playing great defense and doing all of the little things, Singleton scored 27 points to lead Tosa East to the upset win over Sussex Hamilton.
Leon Bond Leon Bond 6'5" | SF Wauwatosa East | 2022 State #62 Nation WI — 2022 — SF — Wauwatosa East
Bond started off his junior season on the right foot. The touted 2022 small forward prospect pitched in 20 points to help his squad earn the victory. Shortly after his great game, Bond announced that he received an offer from The University of St.Thomas.
Kobe Johnson Kobe Johnson 6'5" | PG Nicolet | 2021 State #240 Nation WI — 2021 — PG — Nicolet
Even without James Graham James Graham 6'9" | SF Nicolet | 2021 #59 Nation WI , Johnson proved that Nicolet is still a very dangerous team. The USC commit recorded 17 points and 10 rebounds to lead Nicolet to its first win on the season.
Demerius Shakur Demerius Shakur 6'2" | CG Martin Luther | 2023 State WI — 2023 — PG — Martin Luther
After having a really good showing on the AAU Circuit, Shakur posted 22 points for Martin Luther in a win over Janesville Craig. If the 6-foot-3 point guard can continue to play well, expect college coaches to show a lot of interest in his skills.
Drew Biber Drew Biber 6'3" | SF Cedarburg | 2021 State WI — 2021 — SF — Cedarburg
Even though he is committed to Purdue to play football at the next level, Biber is a phenomenal basketball player. The small forward opened up his senior season with a 31 point performance for Cedarburg in a win over Grafton.
Danilo Jovanovich Danilo Jovanovich 6'6" | PF Whitnall | 2022 State WI — 2022 — PF — Whitnall
Jovanovich is a prospect that college coaches should keep a close eye on. The 2022 power forward is a versatile prospect who is very tough for opposing squads to stop. In the first game of his season, the Whitnall power forward dropped 28 points in the losing effort.
