A versatile scorer, McEwen is a 6-1 wing who is a bit of a streaky shooter, but he’s had some really strong moments this summer with the Iowa Mavericks. A talented passer who sees the floor well, he also led Central DeWitt in assists and steals as a junior.
Cade Grevengoed Cade Grevengoed 6'1" | SG Valley | 2022 State IA | SG | Valley (140)
A physical off-ball guard, Grevengoed had some good moments for the Tigers at the Winterset Shootout, showing his ability to play downhill and get to the bucket for tough finishes. On a deep Valley team, minutes may be inconsistent, but he did show some potential on both ends of the floor.
Dawson Lewis Dawson Lewis 6'4" | SF Cardinal | 2022 State IA | SF | Cardinal (141)
A long, athletic wing who can score from all three levels, Lewis has the ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. The key for him will be becoming more consistent.
Austin Gaffney Austin Gaffney 6'7" | C Storm Lake | 2022 State IA | C | Storm Lake (142)
Gaffney is a big, 6-7 interior presence who blocked over two shots a game as a junior. He can score around the rim, control the glass, and showed the ability to stretch the floor a little bit as well.
Miles Kading Miles Kading 5'10" | PG ACGC | 2022 State IA | SG | ACGC (156)
Kading averaged 11.2 points a game as a junior for the Chargers, but his efficiency numbers weren’t very good (36-28-49 shooting splits). During his play at the Top 64 Summer League, he has shown that he has become a much more efficient scoring threat, and he looks primed to have a huge senior year for ACGC.
Masen Ryan Masen Ryan 6'3" | SF Johnston | 2022 State IA | SF | Johnston (157)
A 6-3 wing with length and the ability to stretch the floor, Ryan didn’t play much as a junior for a loaded Dragons team but has been productive with Pure Prep in the summer.
Wil Lugar Wil Lugar 6'2" | SF Cherokee | 2022 State IA | SF | Cherokee (158)
A do-everything 6-2 wing, Lugar led the Braves in scoring, rebounding, assists, and blocks as a junior, while shooting 38% from behind the arc.
Andrew Oltmanns Andrew Oltmanns 6'1" | SG Western Dubuque | 2022 State IA | SG | Western Dubuque (161)
Oltmanns was a quality role player for a very good Bobcats team last season, showing the ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor with his length and IQ. He gets into passing lanes, rebounds on both ends of the floor, and does a good job moving off the ball to find open spaces in the defense. With three of the top five scorers graduating, Oltmanns will have a larger role in the offense as a senior.
Jacob Auen Jacob Auen 6'6" | PF Valley | 2022 State IA | PF | Valley (162)
Auen played limited minutes as a junior for a deep Tigers team but figures to play a bigger role this year. A 6-6 big man who provides some physicality in the paint, he has good hands and a big, physical frame that he uses effectively on the defensive end and on the glass.
Sam Dvergsten Sam Dvergsten 5'10" | SG Storm Lake | 2022 State IA | SG | Storm Lake (163)
A high-level shooter, Dvergsten knocked down 44.2% of his 3-point attempts for the Tornadoes as a junior. He moves well off the ball and has a quick release off the catch.
