Jaxon Mcdonald Jaxon Mcdonald 5'10" | CG Chanhassen | 2022 MN -2022-G- Chanhassen
Jaxon is a threat on the offense. Shooting over 43% from beyond the arc he is a catch and shoot player who even can release while the defense is in his face. He has been a great addition to the Storm this season as they have exceeded all expectations finishing 3rd in conference. Chanhassen plays @ Edina Wednesday as the Storm look for revenge from earlier this year.
Jack Janicki Jack Janicki 6'4" | SG White Bear Lake | 2023 State #277 Nation MN -2023-G- White Bear Lake
As an X-Factor for the Bears, Jack can make something out of nothing. 24 PPG, this Junior holds 5 D1 offers and can get many more in my opinion. Can score from the left and right side of the rim consistently while drawing defenders and looking for open teammates he is a total team player. Also can pop out and score from beyond, he’s a danger to the defense.
Jaden Wollmuth Jaden Wollmuth 6'5" | C Richfield | 2022 State MN -2022-F- Richfield
One of the most imposing threats down low I’ve ever seen and is very underrated. Jaden can make a bucket in transition, through contact and with 3 defenders on him. His improved mobility this year has been a great addition to his game. However, maybe the most impressive thing that I’ve seen from his game is his shooting. Usually a player with his stature isn’t a treat from outside the paint but not him. His crossover into a deep jumper is something to see.
Patrick Bath Patrick Bath 6'9" | C Totino Grace | 2023 State MN -2023-PF/C- Totino Grace
The junior from TG is very under the radar in the class of 2023. A reliable rebounder and a shot creator makes him a reliable player to count on. He works well with fellow junior Taison Chatman Taison Chatman 6'4" | PG Totino Grace | 2023 State #35 Nation MN and will make them an even better duo. Countless nights he demonstrates he can work with his back to the basket and can finish on either side of the rim. Strong for his size, he can also create shots outside the paint too.
Jordan Cain Jordan Cain 6'3" | SF Minnetonka | 2024 State MN -2024-G- Minnetonka
Jordan is tough as nails near the basket, it’s rare for him to miss once he gets into the paint, thanks to his superior body control and ability to keep his eyes on the hoop even when he makes contact. He can dunk in transition and also get open looks beyond the arc. He can crush the offensive glass for a couple of second-chance buckets as well. Defensively it’s hard to get around him. Great with his feet and is always looking for the ball looking for steals.
