Sixth Round of Player Rankings

Yesterday I did my new team rankings and today I'll be doing my new player rankings. Like the team rankings I will being ranking the Minnesota players in the overall player rankings but, for the rankings of classes I will only be doing players form Wisconsin.

Rankings
1. Jeronne Maymon 6'6 forward junior Madison Memorial (2)- The best rebounder I have seen this year by a long shot. Runs the court extremely well for a big man and can handle the ball. Has the edge over Mason because he can handle the ball better and Mason appears to take a play off here and there.
2. Ryan Rasmussen 6'2 guard senior Waupun (1)- Score first point guard with unlimited range, that can also get inside and score over bigger defenders. If his shots aren't falling does a great job of finding his teammates.
3. Marquis Mason 6'5 forward sophomore Madison East (3)- Very tough to stop on the inside and has been able to knock down the three point shot. Runs the court pretty well and is a very very good shot blocker. Can jump out of the gym and can throw down a dunk at any time.
4. Anthony Tucker 6'5 guard senior Minnetonka MN (1)- Guard with very good size that can knock down the deep three pointers with his smooth shot. Unselfish player that does a great job of letting the game come to him.
5. Jared Berggren 6'10 center senior Princeton MN (1)- A true center that has very soft hands and an even softer touch around the rim. Is a solid shot blocker, who is also a very good rebounder.
6. Lucas Burns 6'6 forward senior Janesville Craig (2)- Slight edge over Cashton Craig because he does so much more then just scores. Does a great job of rebounding and passing. Really lets the game come to him and doesn't force things. Very smooth player that can really knock down the outside shot and being 6'6 doesn't hurt either.
7. Cashton Craig 6'1 guard senior Madison Lafollette (2)- Very good shooter that can really get hot. Moves very well without the ball in his hands. Forces things at times and can go cold at times from the outside. Really just a scorer doesn't rebound very well.
8. Johnnie Lacy 5'11 guard junior Milwaukee Bay View (2)- Very good scorer that can go off at any time and has an engine that doesn't stop. Has really improve in becoming more of a point guard and not just a scorer.
9. Jimmy Whitehead 6'1 guard junior Lacrosse Aquinas (1)- Most improved player I have seen this year. Handles the ball very well and can get where he wants at anytime. Has a very good mid range jumper.
10. Kieran Weed 6'5 forward senior Laconia (1)- Kid that can jump out of the gym, that can one step and dunk. Weed is a beast on the inside that is very tough to stop and has the ability to go outside and hit the mid range jumper or three pointer. Also runs the court very well.
11. Jojo Pregont 6'6 center junior Janesville Craig (2)- Very strong inside with the ball. Really crashes the boards and does a great job getting inside position and moving without the ball.
12. Vander Blue 6'3 guard sophomore Madison Memorial (2)- Faster player I've seen from one end of the court to the other. Very good defender that forces turnovers. Crashes the boards well and is very strong with the ball around the hoop.
13. DJ Fuller 5'10 guard sophomore Madison Lafollette (1)- Didn't play the first time I saw Lafollette. Has a very godo cross over that allows him to get into the lane. Has a very good floater shot and is a very strong player. Another guy that has an engine that never quits.
14. David Hanson 6'6 forward senior Maranatha Christian MN (1)- Big man that can take bigger players outside and take smaller defenders inside. Can shoot the outside shot, post up, and handles the ball very well for a guy his size.
15. Derek Braucht 6'6 forward junior Madison Edgewood (1)- Very good shooter that can also drive to the hoop and find open teammates. Doesn't look like it but, is a fairly strong player.
