Class of 2023 Rankings: Revealing the Top 10

<p>Prep Hoops Wisconsin will drop the first installment of the class of 2023 player rankings next week. Here’s a look at who has secured a spot in the top 10.</p> <p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="953944" first="Milan" last="Momcilovic"] - Forward - Pewaukee</p> <p>Based on his size, skillset, and versatility, Momcilovic is the clear cut guy for the number one spot. Momcilovic  joined Pewaukee’s varsity squad midseason and showed some dominant stretches and a very high upside going forward. The 6-foot-6 freshman has a sweet shooting touch and the ability to score from inside or out. His ball handling and fluidity as a big man just screams mismatch nightmare. </p> <p>Usually like to see prospects after they make that usual jump physically between year one and year two before we peg levels on them, but Momcilovic certainly feels like a high major prospect if he progresses the way we think he will. </p> <p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="951467" first="Prentice" last="Young"] - Small Forward - Wisconsin Lutheran</p> <p>Projecting a little bit here, but when you see a 6-foot-4 freshman with length, athleticism, and a budding skillset, it’s generally just a matter of time before  he takes off.  Young shows a lot of flashes right now, but those flashes are consistent enough to place him at the No. 2 spot. </p> <p>Young excites as a slasher and transition threat. He’s also got serious two-way potential as someone who can cause havoc on the defensive end and turn defense into offense.  With the way he can handle the ball and attack the basket from different areas of the floor, Young may be able to play anywhere on the perimeter when all is said and done, including point guard. </p> <p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="953945" first="Mac" last="Wrecke"] - Wing - Arrowhead</p> <p>Wrecke is  ahead of the curve when it comes to the rest of this freshman class. He played a big role for Arrowhead as a freshman and could handle the speed and physicality of the varsity game without having that deer in the headlights look that you often see from young players.  That begs the question, how much upside is left? </p> <p>Regardless, he’s an athletic wing who can shoot the basketball and doesn’t make the game harder than it has to be.  Wrecke plays to his strengths and doesn’t try and be anything that he’s not.  A blue collar, high-motor prospect  that can affect the game in a variety of ways, look for Wrecke to have a big sophomore season as Arrowhead replaces [player_tooltip player_id="544505" first="Carter" last="Gilmore"]. </p> <p>4. [player_tooltip player_id="980995" first="Deshawn" last="Webb"] - Forward - Living Word Lutheran</p> <p>Really good measurables here. Webb is a kid that can play and defend a variety of positions at 6-foot-3. A long, athletic wing, Webb is a dynamic open floor player.  Stats-wise, Webb had a very strong freshman season, but physically and skills-wise, he’s still quite raw, which will give him a chance to compete for the No. 1  spot down the road.</p> <p>5. [player_tooltip player_id="953943" first="John" last="Kinziger"] - Guard - De Pere</p> <p>Perhaps the best shooter in this class, Kinziger  shot 42 percent from 3-point range as a freshman while averaging better than 15 points per game.  A really strong spot-up shooter, Kinziger can absolutely light it up from downtown when he gets in rhythm.  The 5-foot-10 guard works really well off the ball and understands how to  read defenders and free himself for clean looks while working off the ball.</p> <p>6. [player_tooltip player_id="980996" first="Robert" last="Peeters"] - Forward - West Allis Hale</p> <p>A lot of size and length on this youngster. The 6-foot-7 forward  moves very well and shows some flashes of being able to stretch the floor.  Perimeter and transition skills need some work, but Peeters has a nice face-up game, can protect the rim as a shot blocker,  and looks really good running the floor.</p> <p>7. [player_tooltip player_id="981000" first="Riley" last="Brooks"] - Shooting Guard - Ripon</p> <p>Really good blend of size and skill here. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard has the tools to be an outstanding scorer over the next three years.  Able to score on and off the ball, Brooks is comfortable shooting off the catch or off the bounce, creating  and pulling up while going to his right,  and just doesn’t see the contest from the defender when he goes to rise and fire.</p> <p>8, [player_tooltip player_id="953956" first="Luther" last="Smith"] - Guard - Sussex Hamilton</p> <p>Was a valuable spot-up shooter for Sussex Hamilton as a freshman. Given all the talent the Chargers had, didn’t see Smith’s full repertoire, but he’s a fast, athletic guard that also defends by getting into people and shutting off straight-line drives using his lateral quickness. </p> <p>9. [player_tooltip player_id="951132" first="Braylen" last="Blue"] - Guard - Madison Memorial</p> <p>Blue played junior varsity as a freshman, so it’s tough to compare him to the rest of the top 10 right now.  Already 6-foot-3, Blue is perhaps the best playmaker in this class. Blue has terrific positional size, sees the floor, and feels things opening up before they happen. There are already a handful of  mid-major schools who have extended an offer here.</p> <p>10. [player_tooltip player_id="981021" first="Ashe" last="Oglesby"] -  Power Forward - The Prairie School</p> <p>Oglesby is a strong and powerful prospect with some intriguing athleticism for his build.  Averaging around 11 points per game as a freshman, Oglesby can play above the rim, set the tone around the basket, and get up and down in transition. While he’s a force on the interior, Oglesby also knocked down 20 triples from beyond the arc last season.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Also Considered: [player_tooltip player_id="963145" first="Landon" last="Key"] (Wisconsin Lutheran),  [player_tooltip player_id="981001" first="Simeon" last="Murchison"] (Milwaukee Bay View), [player_tooltip player_id="981038" first="Demerius" last="Shakur"] (Martin Luther)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
