2021 Rankings: Biggest Risers

<p>The class of 2021 rankings are set to be updated this week. Here's a look at eight prospects who will  be making the biggest jump.</p> <p><strong>No. 25 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jordan-johnson/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jordan-johnson/">Jordan Johnson</a></a> - Elkhorn</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - 59 </em></p> <p>Loved what I've seen of Johnson this winter. An explosive guard when the ball is in his hands, the Elkhorn star can absolutely abuse defenders. Johnson has a knack for creating space off the bounce and is an exceptional finisher in traffic, able to deliver and/or absorb contact against  bigger players. Putting up nearly 24 points per game this season, Johnson plays  with a lot of passion and power. I think Division 2  offers are going to come his way in a hurry during the travel season. </p> <p><strong>No. 45 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/sam-hytinen/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/sam-hytinen/">Sam Hytinen</a></a> - Arrowhead</strong></p> <p><em>Previous -  54</em></p> <p>Hytinen is shooting the ball at a really high level this season.  A 3-and-D wing, Hytinen can kill defenses in the catch-and-shoot game and also has the size/intangibles to be a stopper on the other end.  A deceptive athlete, Hytinen can slash a little bit and make some things happen in the open floor. Averaging 13.0 points per game this season alongside a Wisconsin commit and one of the best freshman in the state, Hytinen will be a high priority target at the D3/NAIA level and potentially attract D2 suitors as well. </p> <p><strong>No. 46 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jevan-boyton/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jevan-boyton/">Jevan Boyton</a></a> - Madison East</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - 94</em></p> <p>Boyton is starting to tap into his high upside.  The junior wing is getting about 11 points per game alongside the high-scoring <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/anthony-washington/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/anthony-washington/">Anthony Washington</a></a> and <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/keonte-jones/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/keonte-jones/">Keonte Jones</a></a>. A big body who can get up and down the floor, Boyton is a terrific transition scorer and someone defenders don't relish seeing when he gets his momentum going downhill.  If his skills start to catch up to his athletic measurables, Boyton's stock is going to keep going up.</p> <p><strong>No. 48  <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/brionne-williams/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/brionne-williams/">Brionne Williams</a></a> - Milwaukee Vincent</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - NR</em></p> <p>The younger brother of former Riverside star and now Oklahoma guard <strong>Alondes Williams</strong>, Brionne is turning out to be a nice prospect in his own right.  The junior guard is averaging 17 points per game this season for Vincent.  Like his brother, Brionne is a difficult matchup due to his speed and explosiveness on the ball. A relentless attacker, Williams can live at the rim and is able to  make acrobatic finishes look easy. </p> <p><strong>No.  50 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jalen-keago/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jalen-keago/">Jalen Keago</a></a> - Oshkosh North</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - NR</em></p> <p>A high-upside wing with athleticism and a soft shooting touch, Keago is averaging 15.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game for Oshkosh North this season, while playing alongside a Division 2 guard.  Showcasing rapid improvement, Keago averaged just six points per game as a sophomore. The 6-foot-4 wing has intriguing length and can score with ease in mid-range isolation settings. </p> <p><strong>No. 62 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/luke-healy/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/luke-healy/">Luke Healy</a></a> - Hudson</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - 72</em></p> <p>Healy is getting nearly 20 points and three assists per game while playing in one of the state's toughest and deepest conferences. Colleges will like the pace Healy plays with in transition -- fast, but never in a hurry.  Healy may not wow anybody with his size or athleticism, but he can score in a lot of different ways. </p> <p><strong>No. 63 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/parker-lawrence/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/parker-lawrence/">Parker Lawrence</a></a> - Hortonville</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - NR</em></p> <p>Our first look at Lawrence came against Fox Valley Association leader and potential state champion Kimberly. He was absolutely terrific.  A big reason why Hortonville is arguably the state's most surprising team this season, Lawrence gives the  Polar Bears a high-IQ, floor leadership presence who can also take over a game offensively.  </p> <p><strong>No. 78 <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jaxson-zibbel/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jaxson-zibbel/">Jaxson Zibell</a></a> - Waunakee</strong></p> <p><em>Previous - 95</em></p> <p>Don't be fooled by the stats, Zibell can absolutely score the basketball. Waunakee has a methodical, equal-opportunity offense with a lot of parts that spread the wealth. The lefty is a dangerous sharpshooter with in-the-gym range. He's  a little undersized for the shooting guard spot, but has the toughness and touch to attack the basket and finish through contact. </p>
