Illinois 2023 Wing Stock Risers

<p>Time to move on to the wing positions in the 2023 class.  Here are the biggest stock risers at the shooting guard and small forward spots in the sophomore class!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="939052" first="Matas" last="Buzelis"] (Hinsdale Central)</strong></p> <p>Previous Ranking: #28<br /> Current Ranking: #8</p> <p>Buzelis has impressed in a number of settings over the last few months.  The long and athletic forward has shot up to 6’8” combining that with his plus athleticism and skill make him very intriguing for high-majors and mid-majors at the next level.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1048313" first="Anthony" last="Wrzeszcz"] (Lake Forest Academy)</strong></p> <p>Previous Ranking: NR<br /> Current Ranking: #36</p> <p>Wrzeszcz makes his debut after moving to LFA from Canada.  This evaluation was purely on film, but what we saw we really liked.  Good size at 6’3” with plus athleticism, sniper from deep that can also stop and pop from mid-range, as well as some passing feel for an off guard.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1048317" first="Foster" last="Ogbonna"] (Rolling Meadows)</strong></p> <p>Previous Ranking: NR<br /> Current Ranking: #46</p> <p>The 6’4” combo forward is a thick bodied prospect that plays with a high-motor.  Runs the floor hard in transition, can put it on the deck slashing from the wing, handles well in the open floor, and rebounds at a high rate.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1048318" first="KJ" last="Cobb"] (Hillcrest)</strong></p> <p>Previous Ranking: NR<br /> Current Ranking: #49</p> <p>This Hillcrest 6’0” rising sophomore is a powerful scorer.  The lefty takes it right at the defense over and over again.  He goes coast to coast in transition and finishes well through contact at the rim consistently.  Capable shooter especially off the catch with a quick release. </p>
