Round Two of Rankings

I've seen six more teams play since my last rankings and being that I'm going to be seeing 18 games in the next two days I'll have a lot to digest and don't want an extra three games to think back on. Here are my new player rankings.

Rankings
1. Nick Noskowiak 6'3 senior Sun Prairie- Hands down the best player I've seen so far this year. One of the best shooters off the dribble I've ever seen and really does a nice job of controlling his teams offense.

2. Trev Anderson 6'2 junior Stevens Point- Very strong point guard that doesn't turn the ball over. When given the open three can knock it down. Has a very good cross over and can get to the rim anytime he wants.

3. Brevin Pritzl 6'4 senior De Pere- Just a very smooth player that always seems to be under control. Has a very very pretty shot. If he gets a small opening he can hit the shot.

4. Sam Hauser 6'6 junior Stevens Point- Another smooth player that uses his size to shoot over small defenders. Is also a great defender in his own right. Is a very good passer and does a great job of letting the game come to him and not forcing things.

5. Diamantae Freeman 6'5 senior Milwaukee King- Tremendous leaper that can jump out of the gym and runs the court very well. Has a very nice post game with his back to the basket.

6. Darold Thomas 6'1 senior Madison La Follette- Just a bulldog of a lead guard and is built like a running back. Very strong with the ball and when his shot is falling can make any shot he takes from the outside or driving to the rim.

7. Sam Kerr 5'11 junior Sun Prairie- Probably get a lot of disagreement on this since he doesn't start but, I really like Kerr. Very smooth player that can really handle the ball and doesn't miss from three point range.

8. Deang Deang 6'3 junior Madison East- Everything you want in a point guard. Handles the ball well, can get to the rim and elevate and finish, and can shoot the three. More of a pass first point guard but, has the ability to score when he wants to.

9. JT Ruffin 6'6 senior Sun Prairie- A stretch four at the high school level that can step back and hit the three and can also help handle the ball as well. Strong rebounder on the inside.

10. Kyan Pleasant 6'1 senior Beloit- Can really drive to the rim and finish at will. Shoots the three point shot very well and also is a very good rebounder.

11. Quinten Shere 6'0 senior Madison La Follette- Kid that can just put the ball in the hoop. Takes the ball hard to the hoop and has a nice floater he can finish with and can also hit the spot up three from the outside.

12. De'Shawn Burks 6'2 senior Madison East- Really strong with the ball on the inside and is a smart player. Just has a nack for finishing around the rim.

13. Jordan Poole 6'2 sophomore Milwaukee King- Another very smooth player that always seems to be under control. Shot wasn't falling in the game I saw but, it is a pretty shot, handles the ball very well and can get to the rim and finish.

14. Henry Houden 6'3 senior Madison Memorial- Total glue guy that can do a little bit of everything. He can score but, doesn't need to, to make his impact on the game. Rebounds well and plays some pretty good defense.

15. Jake Ferguson 6'4 sophomore Madison Memorial- Very athletic big guy that runs the court well and seems to be a pretty smart player. Has a nice mid range jump shot as well.

16. Seth Kostroski 5'10 junior Sauk Prairie- Very quick player that uses his quickness to get to the rim whenever he wants. Can knock down the three pointer as well.

17. Zack Rabas 6'5 junior De Pere- Nearly unstoppable going to his left and scoring with a soft shot. A kid that can really get going and score in bunches.

18. Markyse Goad 6'3 senior Blue Eye MO- Superior athlete that didn't have a great game but, showed some flashes. Can get to the rim and finish with his quickness and elevation, is a willing passer, and can sky to get rebounds.

19. Marquis Turner 6'1 senior Milwaukee King- Another heady player that just seems to find the openings in the defense. Good rebounder and a solid midrange shooter.

20. Garrett George 6'2 senior Blue Eye MO- Sharpshooter from the outside, can help run the point, and is a very good rebounder.

21. Shareef Smith 5'10 senior Madison Memorial- Solid point guard that is as clutch as they come. When the game is near the end he's at his best. Can get his shot off at anytime and can get to the rim and finish.

22. Josh Duchniak 5'8 senior Oak Creek- Undersized guard that is a streaky outside shooter and when he gets going is money from the outside. Also a fairly solid defender as well.

23. Chase Johnson 6'5 junior La Crosse Logan- A very very good three point shooter. Handles the ball pretty well for a player his size.
