His combination of ball-handling, quickness, and ability to shoot it off the bounce make him really difficult to defend. He recently committed to play his college ball at Montana. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/Jack-Cooley-crop-2592x1702-1653399332.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1464134" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/Jack-Cooley-crop-2592x1702-1653399332-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a><strong>2.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id="1171696" first="Jack" last="Cooley"] (Clarke) - 20.2 points per game</strong> A talented 6-4 wing who does a little bit of everything, Cooley stuffed the stat sheet to the tune of 20.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 2.1 steals, and 1.9 blocks a game last year. He uses his length effectively on the defensive end and is a versatile three-level scorer offensively who shot over 50% from the floor as a sophomore. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/Brayson-Laube3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1426254" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/Brayson-Laube3-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a><strong>3.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="956878" first="Brayson" last="Laube"] (Marion) - 20.0</strong> One of the most explosive scorers in the state, the future Augustana Viking started his high school career as a big-time shooter, but has steadily improved his all-around offensive game. He gets to the bucket for finishes, moves off the ball for open looks, and can pull up from anywhere on the floor. <strong>4.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167688" first="Max" last="Weaton"] (Fairfield) - 19.9</strong> An athletic 6-6 big man who finishes at a high clip, Weaton shot over 60% from the floor last season and averaged 10.1 rebounds a game. He's a mobile, versatile weapon on both ends of the floor. <strong>5.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1240101" first="Caden" last="Johnson"] (Glenwood) - 18.7</strong> A 6-0 combo guard who gets to the bucket at will, Johnson attempted 111 free throws last season (5.8 a game), which helped contribute to his nearly 19 points a game average. If he can become a more efficient perimeter shooter, he could lead the class in scoring as a senior. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/Colby-Collison-crop-2826x1855-1624031774.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1218566" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/Colby-Collison-crop-2826x1855-1624031774-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a><strong>6.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="956874" first="Colby" last="Collison"] (Bondurant-Farrar) - 18.3</strong> A big and physical 6-4 wing, Collison is one of the most efficient scorers in the state, regardless of class. He posted 55-45-71 shooting splits as a junior, and he does a great job allowing the game to come to him, picking and choosing his spots to take over. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/Chase-Low-scaled.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1525015" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/Chase-Low-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" /></a><strong>7.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167722" first="Chase" last="Low"] (Charles City) - 16.8</strong> A hyper-athletic 6-4 wing, Low is a terror in transition and has really improved his ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the bucket in the halfcourt as well. He loves to finish above the rim and has turned into a reliable 3-point shooting threat. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/10/Duke-Faley.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1071971" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/10/Duke-Faley-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a><strong>8.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167700" first="Duke" last="Faley"] (Wahlert Catholic) - 16.5</strong> Faley is headed to Iowa for track and field as a thrower, but he has a big senior year ahead of him before that. A 6-6 forward who can score inside and out, he was great as a junior for the Golden Eagles, averaging 7.3 rebounds a game to go with his scoring. He has good footwork and touch around the rim and has steadily worked to improve his range, turning into a shooting threat as well. <strong>9.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167745" first="Tyler" last="Smith"] (Sergeant Bluff-Luton) - 16.4</strong> A physical 5-11 guard who is at his best when he's playing downhill and getting to the rim, Smith was the lone Warrior to average double-figures in scoring last season. He also led the team in assists, dishing out 2.7 a night. <strong>10.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id="1376686" first="Jesse" last="Van Kalsbeek"] (MOC-Floyd Valley) - 16.2</strong> Van Kalsbeek is a 6-0 combo guard who posted incredibly impressive 57-38-80 shooting splits as a sophomore for the Dutchmen. He has a pure stroke from deep and gets to the rim where he's a tremendous finisher. In addition to his scoring, he also led MOC-FV in assists last season.
