6’5 PF Ethan Manock Ethan Manock 6'4" | PF Wahpeton | 2023 State ND || Wahpeton || 2023
A strong and powerful post. He will average a double-double in the EDC next season. Manock had many impressive 2-handed dunks and multiple putback slams. Next season will be even more impressive.
6’2 SG Ethan Morin Ethan Morin 6'2" | SG Dunseith | 2022 State ND || Dunseith || 2022
A scoring machine that can do it in many ways. Morin is an opportunistic bucket getter. He is a sneaky defender that has a nose for the ball. Expect Morin to be a top scorer in all of ND next season.
6’3 F Jace Friesz Jace Friesz 6'3" | SF Flasher | 2022 State ND || Flasher || 2022
Top rebounder in Region-5 last season. Double-double machine. Friesz finishes well around the basket with a soft touch. Gives great effort and energy.
6’3 SG Jacolby Pearson Jacolby Pearson 6'4" | SG Four Winds/Minnewaukan | 2022 State ND || Four Winds/Minnewaukan || 2022
A great left-handed scorer. He has high-quality moves and a sweet jumper. Pearson will be a big playmaker for Four Winds. His length will make him a difficult matchup for most guards.
6’4 PF Jaiden Peraza Jaiden Peraza 6'5" | SF Kindred | 2022 State ND || Kindred || 2022
A very big, strong, and athletic player. He is no stranger to alley-oops or putback dunks. Peraza is a beast inside on defense and in the rebounding game.
6’1 SG Jayden Yankton Jayden Yankton 6'1" | SG Four Winds/Minnewaukan | 2022 State ND || Four Winds/Minnewaukan || 2022
He can hit the three early and often. Jayden can spot up in catch and shoot situations or he can drill the 3-ball off the dribble. Yankton has great handles. One of the best 3-point shooters in the state.
6’4 SG Logan Wetzel Logan Wetzel 6'3" | SG Bismarck Legacy | 2022 State ND || Bismarck Legacy || 2022
A heady shooter that thrives on playing off the ball and hitting outside shots. His length helps get his shot off vs. smaller D. An overall solid help defender.
6’0 PG Mitchell Leas Mitchell Leas 6'0" | PG Rolla | 2023 State ND || Rolla || 2023
He is a wizard with the basketball. Leas has great handles and he is always in control of the tempo. A big scoring threat and a sneaky defender.
5’11 CG Tyson Enget Tyson Enget 5'11" | PG Powers Lake-Burke Central | 2023 State ND || Powers Lake || 2023
He is a huge scoring guard (game-high 31 points). Enget is a deadeye from 3-point land (9 in a game). He has refined skills and he is very knowledgeable. Will have a huge upcoming season.
