Player Rankings

These are my just for fun player rankings of the players that I have actually seen play and solely based on the game that I saw them play in. Example in the fact that the best player I've seen this year would cleary be Keshawn Justice but, he played a terrible game and therefore won't be in my initial rankings. Now I will see Justice play again so hopefully he will play better and get back into my rankings. Again the rankings will only be based on the games I saw so if I haven't seen them they won't be ranked or if they played a bad game. I will ranked my overall players and then by class.

Overall
1. Mitch Listau 6'5 senior Waunakee- Very smooth three point shooter that can get really hot and just won't miss. Also a very solid lead guard that can just flat out score.
2. Datrill Thompson 5'7 senior Madison East- Ultra quick guard that can really handle the ball. In the game I saw there was no one that could stay in front of him. Really does a nice job of driving the lane and finishing over bigger defenders.
3. Mason Steffen 6'4 senior Waunakee- Solidly built kid that can get out in transition and finish. Also has a nice little mid range shot.
4. Marlon Ruffin 6'4 senior Sun Prairie- Just a superior athlete on the court and can get his shot at any time. Can really jump out of the gym. Does a little bit of everything and when he wants to can be a shut down defender.
5. Mason Peterson 6'3 senior Baraboo- Another flat out scorer that can get to the rim and finish. Can knock down the spot up three as well.
6. Rajai Williams 6'1 junior Sun Prairie- A solid point guard that handles the ball well and doesn't seem to feel the pressure. Can really hit the spot up three.
7. Keonte Jones 6'3 sophomore Madison East- Another scorer that I look forward to watching mature. Relishes the pressure and the opposing fans attention. Does a nice job of driving and drawing contact.
8. Jason Webb Jr senior Milwaukee Riverside- Just a solid heady lead guard. Can get to the rim and finish with either hand.
9. Cade Ellingson 6'2 junior Madison Memorial- A smart heady player that moves without the ball really well and always seems to be at the right place at the right time.
10. Tanner Brandt 6'8 senior Wisconsin Dells- Smooth big man that can get his shot at any time and can stop out and shoot the three point shot.  

Seniors
1. Mitch Listau 6'5 Waunakee
2. Datrill Thompson 5'7 Madison East
3. Mason Steffen 6'4 Waunakee
4. Mason Peterson 6'3 Baraboo
5. Marlon Ruffin 6'4 Sun Prairie 
6. Jason Webb Jr 6'0 Milwaukee Riverside
7. Tanner Brandt 6'8 Wisconsin Dells

Juniors
1. Rajai Williams 6'1 Sun Prairie
2. Cade Ellingson 6'2 Madison Memorial
3. Nick Caropreso 6'5 junior Madison Memorial- Big man that really moves well without the ball in his hands. Knocks down his free throws and rebounds well.
4. Ian Brown 6'5 Madison Memorial- Big man that moves really well and can help with the ball handling or take the outside shots.

Sophomores
1. Keonte Jones 6'3 Madison East
2. Anthony Washington 6'3 Madison East- Really an exceptional leaper that can really rebound the ball against bigger players.
3. Brett Hirst 6'3 Wisconsin Dells- Can really finish in transition and just a really solid heady player.
4. Bryson Funmaker 5'8 Wisconsin Dells- Very quick point guard that really likes to push the tempo. Can make the outside three if it's there.
5. Marcus Justice 6'4 Madison East- A big body in the post and can rebound and has a nice touch around the rim.
6. Riley Eck 6'1 Wisconsin Dells- Seemed like a solid player in limited time can finish with his back to the basket or dropping the spot up three.
7. Calvin Peterson 6'0 Baraboo- Just a solid point guard.
8. Trayvon Smith 6'1 Milwaukee Riverside- Undersized post player that does a nice job battling.
9. Yacouba Traore Jr 6'6 Madison Memorial- Big body that can move but, unfortunately didn't see enough of him.
10. Delware Hale 6'5 Sun Prairie- Same thing as Traore here.


Freshmen

Well there are my initial rankings. I just didn't feel I've seen enough players that deserved to be ranked for seniors and juniors so I didn't do a full 10 and for sophomores just ranked everyone I saw play.
