Ten Seniors Ready to Break Out in 2019-20

<p>10 senior prospects who may not have put up big numbers last season, but are primed to break out in 2019-20...</p> <p><strong>Malik Abdul-Wahid - F - Brookfield Central</strong></p> <p>Averaged 6.9 points per game as a junior. Abdul-Wahid was a role player for the Lancers last season. After a big summer, he finds himself holding a couple of Division 2 scholarship offers. David Joplin and Ben Nau will likely continue to be the straws that stir the drink, but the 6-foot-5 combo forward is budding into a big mismatch problem and will be one of the biggest x-factors in the state in 2019-20. </p> <p><strong>Nick Brown - SF - Elkhorn</strong></p> <p>Elkhorn, who had a magical run to the state tournament last season, will have to rebuild somewhat without the Umnus brothers and <strong>Chance Larson</strong>.  After averaging 10.7 points per game as a junior, Brown's role is going to significantly increase for the Elks. The  UW-Parkside commit is a consistent spot-up shooter with some bounce. He was a second-team All-Southern Lakes pick in 2018-19. </p> <p><strong>Kai Buliox - PG - Milwaukee King</strong></p> <p>The poise and leadership Buliox brings to the table should help elevate the Generals next season. Milwaukee King has some good pieces returning, but they need Buliox to make the jump he's capable of after opening our eyes over the summer.  Buliox, who averaged 6.5 points per game as a junior, is a fast, athletic point guard who can get to the rim, create shots on the perimeter, and make plays for others. If he plays as well as he's capable of, Buliox and <strong>Quinton Murrell</strong> will be a dangerous 1-2 punch in the Milwaukee City Conference. </p> <p><strong>Tyrese England - G - Wisconsin Lutheran</strong></p> <p>There's a lot of people that still don't know how good England is. With <strong>Bryson Felder</strong> gone, England could increase his scoring average in a big way, after putting up just shy of 13 ppg as a junior. When England gets the ball in isolation settings, more often than not, he's going to be successful. A shifty guard who can score from all over the floor, England has a great shooting touch. While he's undersized, England  can play inside, able to hang, finish, and adjust in traffic.</p> <p><strong>Jacksun Hamilton - SF - La Crosse Logan</strong></p> <p>Averaged 11.5 points per game last season. Hamilton is one of the better Division 3 prospects in the state. The 6-foot-6 senior plays mostly on the interior in high school, but showed during the travel season that he's better as a wing.  Hamilton greatly impressed with his ability to score off the dribble, attack the rim, and create mismatch problems.  Logan loses last season's leading scorer <strong>Calvin Mavin</strong>. Look for Hamilton to be one of the biggest surprises in the Mississippi Valley.</p> <p><strong>Joey Immekus - SG - Martin Luther</strong></p> <p>We'll see what type of looks Immekus can get now that the attention is turned on him this season, but  this is one of the state's most dangerous shooters. Immekus feasted off open looks with opponents focused on <strong>Trequan Carrington, Ace Evans,</strong> and<strong> Xzavier Jones</strong>. All those three players are now gone for the Spartans. We'll see what head coach <strong>Paul Wollersheim</strong> can come up with to free up Immekus, who shot 50.6 percent from 3-point range last season, nailing 80 shots from downtown.</p> <p><strong>Ben Olson - PF - Holmen</strong></p> <p>Averaged 3.7 points per game last season. Look for Olson to  emerge for Holmen, who loses a lot of seniors. Olson is a big, athletic body that can run the floor and control the glass. An above the rim threat, Olson can create mismatch problems with athleticism. Despite being a role player last season, Olson has the potential to average a double-double as a senior.</p> <p><strong>Ben Probst - SG - Madison La Follette</strong></p> <p>Probst has always been one of the biggest unsung heroes over the past few seasons.  He did average 14.9 points per game last season, but it was <strong>Donneil Gray</strong> and <strong>Troy Reeves</strong> who got most of the headlines. With those two gone, expect Probst to be a strong contender for first-team All-Conference in the Big Eight. A tough, blue collar guard that  thrives on outworking people, Probst is also one of the more clutch players in the state, always making timely shots or momentum-swinging hustle plays late in games. </p> <p><strong>Peyton Rogers-Schmidt - W - Chippewa Falls.</strong></p> <p>Rogers-Schmidt made some noise during some high school events during the summer. We'll see if that translates to the winter. Rogers-Schmidt averaged 13.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game last season, but isn't that well-known across the state. An explosive athlete who's difficult to keep away from the rim, Rogers-Schmidt will be one of the more difficult matchups if his skillset catches up with his physical tools.</p> <p><strong>Colin Schaefer - PG -  Sun Prairie</strong></p> <p>Schaefer missed most of his junior season due to injury, but when he came back, led Sun Prairie to the Division 1 state title game.  In just nine outings, Schaefer averaged 11.7 points per game. The Cardinals do return quite a bit, but even when <strong>Jalen Johnson</strong> was in town, Schaefer was still a big part of their success. A winner, floor general, and leader, Schaefer does a ton that doesn't show up in the stat book. He also took his talents across the country during the AAU circuit and played some big time basketball against many of the nation's best prospects.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
