4th Round Player Rankings

For whatever reason my last post didn't come out quite right. You could see D1 and D2 but, as for the rest D3 was blue, D4 green, D5 orange, Iowa purple, and then Minnesota pink. Anyway so now on to my new player rankings. Just like for the team rankings I included players from other states and then in my class rankings I'm only going to include players from the state of Wisconsin. So here are my new rankings.

Overall
1. Bronson Koenig 6'3 senior Lacrosse Aquinas- A player that truly makes his team mates better and is the ultimate star point guard in that he can score and pass the ball extremely well. Honestly I could see him being the starting point guard right now for Wisconsin.
2. Duane Wilson 6'3 senior Whitefish Bay Dominican- Ultra quick guard that can get his shot at any time. Knocks down the three, can finish at the rim with either hand and might be the best ball handler in the state.
3. Deonte Burton 6'6 senior Milwaukee Vincent- Second time I saw him play he really came to play going head to head with Wilson. Showed he does have an outside shot along with all the intangibles he brings to the game. Rebounds extremely well, passes extremely well,blocks shots extremely well, and is a very good on the ball defender as well.
4. Matt Thomas 6'4 senior Onalaska- Moves extremely well with out the ball to get open but, also handles the ball well enough that there was nobody on the court that could stay in front of him. Has the prettiest shot and elevates extremely well which allows him to get his shot up at anytime. The shots weren't falling for him in the game I saw but, you could see that he is a shooter.
5. Rashard Vaughn 6'6 junior Robinsdale Cooper- An elite talent with college size. Can really shoot the ball from three point range and can get to the rim when he wants to.
6. Nick Fuller 6'7 senior Sun Prairie- In the two games I saw his shot just wasn't falling but, did show his versatility that he could play on the perimeter or in the post. Really seems prepared to be able to play on the next level.
7. Kevin Looney 6'8 junior Milwaukee Hamilton- Didn't have a great game but, showed the ability to control the game without having to score. Blocked shots, rebounded, and did score late in the game.
8. Jamaar McKay 6'4 senior Milwaukee Washington- Extremely high energy player that really makes his team go. Can guard anyone on the court and when he gets the ball on the block he's almost impossible to stop. Tremendous leaper as well with a nice mid range jumper.
9. Nick Noskowiak 6'3 sophomore Sun Prairie- A big time shooter that can knock down shots off the dribble with the best of them. Think he could be a solid point guard but, with the team he's on he's forced to be more of a scoring point guard. Plays pretty solid defense as well.
10. Steven Soukup 6'5 senior Danville- A great great outside shooter that can also handle the ball very well and moves without the ball very well.
11. Michael Conway 6'6 senior Lacrosse Aquinas- Really gets over shadowed by his team mate Koenig but, this kid can do it all to. Hits the spot up threes, rebounds very well, handles the ball, and showed he can drive to the rim and finish with the monster dunk.
12. Diamond Stone 6'9 sophomore Whitefish Bay Dominican- Was very limited in the game I saw him due to foul trouble but, when he was in the game was very impressive. Has a great game in the post with his back to the basket. Rebounds very well and of course blocks shots.
13. Joe Aase 6'8 senior Austin- A big man with a very nice shot from the outside. Moves well to get himself open and can knock down the shot.
14. Malik Clements 6'3 junior Madison West- Might very well be the most improved player in the state. Does a great job coming off of screens and is immediately ready to shoot the ball and has the ability to take that ball to the hoop just as well and use his strength to finish.
15. Jeremy Morgan 6'6 senior Iowa City West- A legitimate D1 athlete with the size and skill level to play guard at the next level. An extremely unselfish player that can also really knock down the three point shot.
16. Nate Dodge 6'3 senior East Troy- An ultimate team player in that he is now playing in the post on defense and is doing a great job rebounding the ball. One of the top shooters in the state and is the ultimate competitor.
17. Brandon Robinson 6'2 junior Robbinsdale Cooper- A very strong lefty in the post that is almost impossible to stop when he goes to his left.
18. Derek Rongstad 6'5 junior Middleton- Very smooth player that has a very nice jumper that he takes off the dribble and a good spot up three point shot. Hands down the top player on the court when I saw him play Madison Memorial.
19. Joel Heesch 6'3 senior Mauston- Just a tremendous talent that can get his shot off at anytime. Has very nice long distance jumper and does a great job of looking for his team mates and setting them up for open shots.
20. Steven Minzlaff 6'4 senior Bay Port- Another Mr. Everything. As he is forced to play in the post just because he is the tallest guy on the team. Did a very nice job playing defense against bigger players and then turns around and runs the point for Bay Port setting the offense up and then going to the post where he does a great job posting up and then going back outside shooting threes or driving to the hoop.
21. MJ Delmore 5'11 senior Wisconsin Dells- Absolutely an ideal point guard and might be the best in the state. Seems like he's always scoring but, doesn't force things just takes what the defense gives him. Always, always finds the open teammate and puts them in the perfect position to score. Is an extremely good three point shooter.
22. Jaylen Key 6'5 sophomore Homestead- Had no idea this kid whose a sophomore tell I came home and looked him up. Has a very nice smooth mid range jumper that he takes a little to much at times. A solid rebounder and also a pretty good shot blocker as well.
23. Jester Weah 6'4 senior Madison Memorial- In my opinion is the best rebounder and leaper in the state. At times is a true beast in the paint and if the shot is missed he's going to get the rebound.
24. David Burrell 6'5 junior Milwaukee Hamilton- Another tremendous leaper that loves to finish with the dunk. Loves to get out and run in the open floor and rebounds really well.
25. Brett Prahl 6'9 senior East Troy- A big man that moves extremely well and has the ability to come out and guard smaller players on the perimeter. Runs the floor very well and really does a nice job of sealing off his defender.
