Round Two Rankings

Still haven't seen another game so figured I might as well focus on my new player rankings. I haven't seen a ton of new players but, have see some players numerous times which allows me to get a better read on that players. As always only in state players are considered for class rank. My rankings of 1-3 could just about go any way 1 through 3 but, it came down to one was the player that has been huge at the end of every game. That player is Nimrod Hillard, who has probably been more valuable to his team than any player in the state.


Overall Rankings
1. Nimrod Hillard 6'0 junior Madison East- Possibly the best ball handler I've seen this year with a killer cross over. Can finish at the rim with a variety of moves and always comes up huge at the end of games. He also hits his free throws and can knock down the three.
2. Vander Blue 6'3 senior Madison Memorial- Hasn't had a great year but, has really shown that he can do alittle bit of everything. Has shown that at the end of games he can absolutely take games over. Three point shooting is greatly improved and has some very nice handles with the ball. When he really goes for rebounds he is head and shoulders above everyone else and on any given night he is probably the best athlete on the court.
3. Marquis Mason 6'4 senior Madison East- Another guy that is probably the best athlete on the court night in and night out. Can control a game without even scoring and can jump out of the gym. Best shot blocker, rebounder, and dunker I've seen this year. When he gets the ball in the post nearly impossible to stop without fouling. Can occasionally step out and hit the outside shot.
4. Austin Armga 6'3 senior Waupun- Most impressive scorer I've seen this year. Nearly impossible to stay in front of and when he gets inside the free throw line he's going to score.
5. Tre Edwards 6'1 senior Racine Park- Another guard that finishes at the rim extremely well and in a variety of ways. Also has very very quick hands and uses them effectively to pick off passes.
6. Keith Sconiers 6'3 senior Oak Lawn Richards IL- Is very good with the ball in his hands. Loves to get out and run and can stop on a dime and hit the jumper or the three point shot.
7. Josh Gasser 6'4 senior Port Washington- Another kid that can do a little bit of everything and can take over a game without scoring. Runs the point, is one of the top rebounders on the team, and does average 20 plus points a game when he does score.
8. Tre Creamer 6'2 senior Madison Memorial- Has really formed a great 1 2 punch with Vander Blue. Can slash to the rim and score anytime he wants and this year he is finally starting to knock down the three point shot. Is the vocal leader for this team.
9. Jordan Noskowiak 6'3 junior Sun Prairie- When he can get his feet set he's going to knock down the outside shot. Comes off the screen very well and players very good tough defense.
