2020 Rankings Update: Biggest Risers

<p>A look at the players who made the biggest jump in the updated class of 2020 player rankings.</p> <p><strong>No. 5 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/max-klesmit/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/max-klesmit/">Max Klesmit</a></a> - Neenah</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - 8 </em></p> <p>He's been helped  by some injuries to other players, but Klesmit has done enough to move his way into the top five. The Wofford commit is having a huge senior season, posting 24.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. The Terriers have had some outstanding guards/wings lead them to the NCAA Tournament and even some upset wins in the big dance. It wouldn't be surprising to see Klesmit fall in that line. </p> <p><strong>No. 31 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/aiden-flynn/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/aiden-flynn/">Aiden Flynn</a></a> - Marquette</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - 40</em></p> <p>Playing in arguably the state's best conference, Flynn is averaging 22.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game this season.  The 6-foot-5 forward is a little undersized, but plays an aggressive brand of basketball.  Flynn can handle the ball  and get coast-to-coast in transition. He may not land a Division 2 offer, but  Flynn would be a heckuva pickup at the D3 level and someone with star potential. </p> <p><strong>No. 34 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/adam-hobson/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/adam-hobson/">Adam Hobson</a></a> - 43</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - 43</em></p> <p>The more I watch Hobson, the more I'm believing in his talent at the Division 2 level.  A kid that started outside the top 50 and steadily climbed his way up, Hobson leads a  17-3 Stoughton team with 17.4 points per game.  The 6-foot-4 senior is a prototypical swingman who can slash, stretch the floor, defend, and rebound.   The Michigan Tech commit  is a guy you don't have to run plays for necessarily, but he'll find a way to impact the game and fit into a given system. </p> <p><strong>No. 52 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/josh-dilling/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/josh-dilling/">Josh Dilling</a></a> </strong></p> <p><em>Previous - NR</em></p> <p>Dilling might still be too low and hopefully, we can get another viewing. The senior guard has a Division 2 offer on the table from William Jewel and a few more are eying his services at this team. A crafty scorer, Dilling is putting up 18.5 points per game in the Fox Valley Association this season.  With the exception of one game versus Kimberly early in the season, Dilling has produced big against the top teams within the league. </p> <p><strong>No.  53 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/derek-gray/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/derek-gray/">Derek Gray</a></a> - Madison La Follette</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - 63</em></p> <p>Gray has been a big reason why La Follette not only survived some tough personnel losses from last season, but the Lancers are even better in 2019-20.  The senior guard is averaging just shy of 14 points per game for a 19-0 squad that has a handful of college prospects on its roster.  A smooth, break-you-down guard with length and touch around the rim, Gray is one of those guards that just constantly applies pressure to your defense. </p> <p><strong>No. 54 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/eric-radisevic/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/eric-radisevic/">Eric Radisevic</a></a> - Brookfield Central</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - NR</em></p> <p>Another guy that might still be too low, Radisevic plays on arguably the most talented team in the state. That said, his touches and opportunities aren't always high, but when he does get a chance, Radisevic seems to shine. This is a 6-foot-8  power forward with strength, mobility, and finesse around the rim.  Radisevic has a terrific back-to-the-basket game and can score from tough angles.  The WIAC is praying he falls to their level and I'm not so sure Radisevic doesn't have Division 2 upside.  Radisevic is second on the Lancers, averaging 13.2 ppg, a team that's loaded with college talent. </p> <p><strong>No. 56 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/brady-olson/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/brady-olson/">Brady Olson</a></a> - Cuba City</strong></p> <p><em>Previous 65</em></p> <p>Olson has been one of the most complete and all-around guards in the state this season. The senior is posting 16.4 points,  7.6 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game this season.  Olson, who has scholarship offers from  UW-Parkside and Saint Leo, is the straw that stirs the drink for the No. 1 ranked and undefeated Cubans. Olson pushes the basketball at a high level and can make things happen without the dribble.</p> <p><strong>No. 66 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/mason-johnson/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/mason-johnson/">Mason Johnson</a></a> - Golda Meir</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - NR</em></p> <p>Johnson is one of the most imposing players in the state. He's posting 25.6 points and 18.6 rebounds per game as a senior. A high-motor forward with a good blend of strength and athleticsim, Johnson attacks the rim  like he's mad at the thing.  If his skill level catches up to his physical attributes and tenacity...watch out. </p> <p><strong>No. 69 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/elijah-lambert/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/elijah-lambert/">Elijah Lambert</a></a> - Racine St. Catherine's</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - NR</em></p> <p>He won't score a ton of points, but Lambert has plenty of value at the next level. One of the state's top defenders, Lambert just seems to shut down everyone he goes up against.  The 6-foot-4 wing/forward is a fundamentally sound defender with tenacity. He's also giving unbeaten and top ranked St. Catherine's 10.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.</p> <p><strong>No. 95 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/drew-fisher/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/drew-fisher/">Drew Fisher</a></a> - Oconomowoc</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - NR</em></p> <p>Fisher recently committed to UW-Whitewater.  We caught his game against Arrowhead earlier this season where he put up a season-high 29 points. The senior guard is averaging 15.6 points and 5.1 assists per game in 2019-20.  A skilled, instinctive guard,  Fisher can be a wizard with the ball in his hands, getting downhill and making things happen by forcing defenders to scramble. </p> <p><strong>No. 98 - <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jayquon-owens/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jayquon-owens/">Jayquon Owens</a></a> - Hortonville</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - 108</em></p> <p>One of the more unique players in this class, you look at Owens' build and athleticism and assume he's a slasher who's constantly getting to the rim when in fact he's more of a pass-first guard/wing who creates for others.  Owens is getting 11.5 points per game on a 16-4 Hortonville squad, but the 6-foot-2 guard sees the floor really well and can thread the needle with the pass. Also a standout defender,  Owens is a sleeper at the small  school level.</p>
