Top 250 Expo: Most Improved

<p>At the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo, our staff got a second look at a handful of prospects from around the state. Below we look at which players made the biggest improvements to their game. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1035872" first="Jackson" last="Dudek"] - 2021 - Kimberly: <br /> Dudek didn’t get significant minutes for Kimberly last season, but after a breakout summer, he could cause issues for teams in the FVA Conference. The 6’7” forward has elite footwork and an impressive post skillset. He can go to work in a clogged paint, and get defenders off their feet with a pump fake.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="963676" first="Alex" last="Singleton"] - 2021 - Wauwatosa East:<br /> Singleton looks much more active and comfortable as a primary scorer. I had questions about his perimeter jumpshot, but when defenders gave him space he knocked down threes, and did it efficiently. This weekend he used his frame much more, clearly taking advantage of smaller guards and aggressively going to the rim.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="865853" first="Massimo" last="Malterer"] - 2022 - Madison East:<br /> Malterer is a guy that always scores aggressively and efficiently. Not the biggest, most athletic guy, but he has a strong first step and can get by some of the better defenders in the gym. He’s a straight-line driver and gets to where he wants to go quickly and without unneeded dribbling. He looked longer and more physical, too, using his length for an impressive euro-step.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1036033" first="Vinko" last="Polovic"] - 2021 - Franklin: <br /> Polovic had some intriguing film entering this Expo, and he looked even better on Sunday. The 6’7” sniper shoots the lights out, and stretches the floor with his versatile skillset. His high release gives him a serious advantage on contested looks in the midrange, and he wasn’t afraid to pull the trigger with a hand in his face.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="935490" first="Jalen" last="Keago"] - 2021 - Oshkosh North:<br /> Keago is another prospect that always has a hot hand. He went on a ten-point scoring run in one of the later games this Sunday, seeking out his shot early in the possession and turning defense into fastbreak offense.</p> <p>Max Nelson - 2022 - Appleton North:<br /> Nelson is a potential high-major player, and this weekend he showed he’s working towards that level. His off-the-dribble scoring was as polished as ever, and his jumper fell more consistently than in the past. He made it a point to bring the ball up the floor, and displayed a sharp, guard-like ball-handling ability when initiating the half-court offense. Before, he was a stretch four. This weekend it was clear he could play the 2 or 3 on a college team.</p>
