Second Round Player Rankings

It has been a long time since I haven't updated my player rankings and time to finally due some updated rankings since I have seen a lot more teams since I last did my rankings. My overall rankings will include players from out of state by my ranking for classes will solely be based on players from within the state of Wisconsin.

Overall Rankings
1. Marcus Paige 6'1 junior Linn-Marr Iowa- He's going to North Carolina for a reason and he really showed it. Can take over a game without having to score. Can get anywhere he wants on the court and can get his shot at any time. Ultra quick hands that allows him to knock the ball away from unsuspecting ball handlers.
2. Junior Lomomba 6'5 junior Madison Memorial- Isn't the quickest guy in the world but, has the ability to drive past defenders and finish strong at the rim. Solid defender and very strong rebounder. Can hit the jumpers out to the three point line as well.Very high basketball IQ.
3. Nick Fuller 6'5 sophomore Sun Prairie- Has the size of an inside player but, can play like a guard. One of the better ball handlers for a guy his size and if you leave him open from three he's going to hit the shot. Does alittle bit of everything, rebounds well, and loves to finish with the dunk.
4. Nimord Hillard 6'0 senior Madison East- Ultra quick point guard that can find his teammates open for easy buckets. Has a great step back three point shot that he uses to shoot over taller defenders. Drives and can finish in a variety of ways around bigger defenders. His whole game is based on using his quickness and finishing around bigger and taller defenders.
5. Josh Montague 6'7 senior Linn-Marr Iowa- Big man with a great touch from three point range and runs the court very well for a big man. Has a very nice finesse game but, rebounding could use some work for a guy with his size.
6. Zak Showalter 6'2 junior Germantown- Another guy with a high basketball IQ. Moves extremely well without the ball and always seems to find the opening in the defense. Very athletic player that relys on that to get his shot off and drives to the hoop looking to get fouled.
7. Arroyo Edwards 6'5 junior Milwaukee King- Player that has the size of a big man but, plays like a guard. Is at his best when he gets the ball around the 15 foot range where he can pass the ball, shoot, or take it to the hoop. Can finish at the rim with either hand and is a pretty good free throw shooter.
8. Matt Van Scoyc 6'6 junior Green Lake- Every night he has to put his team on his back on the offensive end. Might be the best player in D5 outside of Sam Dekker. Can post up if needed but, seems to prefer shooting from the outside. Can use his height to shoot over defenders from out to three point range.
9. Zach Zweifel 6'0 senior Monona Grove- Just a flat out scorer. Does most of his damage off the dribble, can finish with either hand, or pull up for the jumper. Does a nice job of jumping the passing lanes on defense.
10. Bronson Koenig 6'2 sophomore Lacrosse Aquinas- Solid point guard with good size. Has the ability to score at will but, seems to like setting up his teammates in scoring opportunity. Has a great pull up shot from mid range and gets great elevation on his shot.
11. Chris Hawkins 6'5 senior Sun Prairie- Just a beast on the inside that rebounds extremely well, blocks shots, and needs just one step to throw down monster dunks. High intensity player and can step out and hit the three.
12. Matt Thomas 6'1 sophomore Onalaska- Very similar to Koenig but, lacks the ball handling skills of Koenig. Shoots the three very well and has a great mid range shot. Is very good in the transition game.
13. Michael Barrett 6'2 senior Monroe- Ultimate glue player that does alittle bit of everything. Best shot is the fade away 15 footer but, can shoot out to the three point line. Moves very well without the ball, can run the point, rebounds, and plays pretty good defense.
14. Duane Wilson 6'1 sophomore Whitefish Bay Dominican- One of the quickest players with the ball in his hand. Nearly impossible to stop going to his right. Can stop on a dime and pull up for the shot.
15. Carnell Sheppard 5'10 junior Minneapolis South- Just a flat out scorer. Has unlimited range from three point land and can penetrate and score going straight to the hoop or shooting the floater.
16. Bryan Tordoff 6'0 senior Monroe- Ultimate competitor. One of the best rebounding guards I have seen. Sharpshooter from the outside but, loves to take defenders in the post where he is very strong.
17. TJ Huizenga 6'4 senior Randolph- Is at his best in the transition game where he can use his length to score around defenders. When he gets the ball at the free throw line is a great passer finding open teammates either outside or inside, or he can take the ball to the hoop. One of the best defenders in the state where he once again uses his length and athleticism.
18. Brendan Ortiz 6'1 sophomore Madison Memorial- Sophomore that plays like a senior. He and Lomomba are without a doubt the vocal leaders on this team. Can get his shot off at any time and shoots very well off the dribble, spot up, or coming off the screen. Using his great ball handling skills to get around defenders and can finish with the floater in the lane.
19. Taron Edwards 5'11 junior Racine Park- Great three point shooter that can shoot the three off the spot up or off the dribble. This guy is unstoppable going to his left. Money from the free throw line.
20. Cale Zuiker 6'9 senior Marshfield- Moves very well for a kid his size. Seems like a very smart basketball player. Has a high release that allows him to shoot over most defenders. Moves very well without the ball and has unlimited range.
21.Beau Murray 6'2 senior Waunakee- Always goes hard to the hoop where he can get foul and make the free throw shot or elevate over the defender and pull up for the mid range jumper. Guy that just knows how to score.
22. Jared Staege 6'2 senior Waunakee- Runs the point very well and has a very nice smooth shot from the outside. Forms a great combo with Murray.
23. Anthony Carroll 6'1 sophomore Wauwatosa East- Another player that is great in transition where he can take the ball to the hoop or knock down the three point shot.
24. Darrell Bowie 6'6 junior Wauwatosa East- Once again another guy that is great in transition. Big man that can step out and hit the three point shot. High energy player that can get rebounds and hustle players.
25. Mark Kowalke 6'7 senior Baraboo- Very good spot up shooter but, also very solid in the post. Post game is probably better on defensive end where he loves to come in late and block shots. Rebounds well and doesn't miss from free throw line.
