Schmit scored 17 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3 assists per game for the Tigers this season. He excelled at attacking closeouts using his burst and footwork in the lane.
Brennen Kelley Brennen Kelley 6'2" | SG Norfolk Catholic | 2022 State NE | Norfolk Catholic
Kelley performed well this season as a spot-up shooter. The lefty hit 35% of his threes on almost 5 attempts per game. As he showed in the state tournament this year, he never gives up on a play.
Conner Larson Conner Larson 5'9" | SG Elkhorn Valley | 2022 State NE | Elkhorn Valley
The Falcons shooting guard has an unorthodox shot, but his quick trigger allows him to get it off in tight spaces. He averaged 3 steals a game thanks to his active hands and anticipatory instincts.
Cortez Gonzalaus Cortez Gonzalaus 6'4" | SF Omaha Benson | 2022 State NE | Omaha Benson
Scoring was not his greatest skill, but as one of the few senior leaders on a young team his effort, physicality, and toughness were crucial. He had no problem banging down low with the bigs, and he held his own more often than not.
Jed Hoover Jed Hoover 6'0" | SG Tekamah-Herman | 2022 State NE | Tekamah-Herman
Jed just makes good things happen on the court. Forcing turnovers, grabbing a crucial rebound in traffic, or finishing in traffic. It seemed he always made a play when one was needed. I would have liked to see him use his dribble to create better shots instead of settling for perimeter shots, but it was still a nice senior campaign for the Tigers point guard.
Sam Prokupek Sam Prokupek 6'1" | PG Bellevue East | 2022 State NE | Bellevue East
The activity that Prokupek provided on both ends was critical for the Chieftians. He was especially active in passing lanes and he disrupted drivers with digs.
Jaeden Jimenez Jaeden Jimenez SG Bellevue East | 2022 State NE | Bellevue East
Jimenez was the best high-volume shooter for Bellevue East this season. He loved to pull from 3+ feet behind the three-point line which gave him the extra space he needed to get hit shot off consistently.
Gavin Nelson Gavin Nelson 6'0" | SG Howells-Dodge | 2022 State NE | Howells-Dodge
Nelson shot 41% from distance on 6 attempts per game. His high-volume floor spacing was perfect next to teammate Blake Sindelar Blake Sindelar 6'3" | SF Howells-Dodge | 2022 State NE , who could get into the lane at will and collapse the defense.
Drew Sellon Drew Sellon 6'1" | SG Fremont | 2022 State NE | Fremont
Sellon improved steadily throughout the year and played his best basketball of his career in the final weeks of the season. He averaged 9 points per game on the season, but after the new year he caught fire and averaged almost 13 points per game in 2022.
Isaac Herbek Isaac Herbek 6'3" | SG Grand Island Central Catholic | 2022 State NE | Grand Island Central Catholic
After scoring 7 points per game a season ago, Herbek handled his bump in usage well and put up 16 points per game as a senior on 55/41/83 shooting splits. He managed to maintain that efficiency while finishing 2nd on the team in total field goal attempts.
Cobe Hansen Cobe Hansen 5'9" | PG Lincoln Christian | 2022 State NE | Lincoln Christian
Hansen was an assist and steal machine as a senior. He did whatever his team needed, and most times that was defensive intensity and activity.
