Green Bay East | 2022

WI
– Green Bay East:
The film tape shows a clear picture of Flowers’ explosion on the basketball court. Every spin move or jump stop comes with extra pop. His athletic gear impacts every part of the game, from adding transition flare to making him key rebounding piece in the backcourt. Flowers will probably be the number two option on East, but he still checks all the boxes of a late bloomer prospect.

– Tomah:
With his meshing size and skillset, Derousseau fits like a glove in any lineup. Scouts should love how he uses his frame to create space, his default offensive attack plan. Whenever he can he’ll play with his back to the basket, using that advantage to push around the defense. His instincts on the perimeter are appealing, too. He’ll be eager to shoot from a step beyond the three-point line if the defense retreats. There are not many players in his conference that could go punch for punch with him. Expect a big statistical performance from the senior.

Waupaca | 2022

– Waupaca:
A 6’7’’ stretch big that’s primed for a big statistical breakthrough as he becomes one of the top scoring options on his team. While plenty of bigs can shoot from deep, Bogard is a notch above the rest. He shot 90 threes last season, a striking volume that gave the defense fits. Looking through a scouts lens, there’s a lot to like with his intangibles and natural ability, but a major stats boost would affirm that hunch.

– Luther:
Like the best bigs, Proudfoot makes light work of undersized defenders. And standing at a sturdy 6’6”, that advantage holds steady against about 90 percent of the state. His junior year highlights show his mismatch potential at peak capability. Rebounding came easy, his spin move was disorienting, and excellent touch paired great with his height when scoring inside. His skills are there, so are his positioning and post instincts. Nothing is stopping him from being a double-double-per-night kind of player.

– Whitefish Bay:
Ivory left scouts like me with plenty to chew on after the Midwest Collision. He churned out highlight after highlight, enough to merit twitter coverage and a spot on my standouts list. It was enough to keep the hype going into the offseason, at least for me, because Ivory is one of the best fits on this list. Ivory possesses the moxie on offense to make risky but calculated decisions with the ball. When he’s going, he’ll let it fly from beyond the arc. At the rim, it’s usually a combination of crafty finishing and being a better athlete that his defender.Â

– West De Pere:
A prospect that continues to show more of his tricks every game. Heikkila won’t be denied from being productive, as he shoots it well, slips through gaps around the rim, and finishes with determination. It’s tough to handle when he’s attacking downhill, too. After a strong summer, I’m thinking it will all come together in his senior season.
