Micah Curtis
Micah Curtis is a six-foot-six-inch 2025 sophomore wing that plays at St. Louis Park. Curtis is quick, long, and athletic and is great in transition. He likes to jump passing lanes and finishes above the rim frequently. Can take advantage of small defenders in the post, and get by similar sized opponents on the perimeter. He’s averaging 18 points-per-game so far for 2022-23 but has been sizzling last 3 scoring 77 averaging 25.7 per game.
Abu Keita Abu Keita 6’5″ | SF Benilde-St.Margaret’s | 2025 State MN is a 2025 sophomore wing from Benilde-St. Margaret’s (BSM). Keita is a six-foot-five-inch wing that is averaging 12.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game for a talented BSM squad. Keita can play inside and outside using speed and quickness to rebound for putbacks, and spaces the floor to make 3-pointers. Inside he does a solid job holding the ball high in the post, in transition he finishes with authority above the rim.
Highlights
Isaiah Hagen Isaiah Hagen 6’3″ | PG Orono | 2023 State MN was primed for a big Senior year, and so far for the 5-1 Orono Spartans the six-foot-three-inch point guard is leading the way. Scoring 20 points, grabbing over 6.5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. Hagen’s size allows him to really take advantage of the averaged size guard inside, even in the post, and outside with his shooting ability. Hagen is dangerous off the dribble, especially within Orono’s run and gun type system, but also spotted up around the perimeter.
Highlights
Braden Barger Braden Barger 6’5″ | SF Chanhassen | 2023 State MN is a six-foot-four-inch wing from Chanhassen. The 2023 Senior really benefits from the increased attention teammate Max Woods Max Woods 5’11” | PG Chanhassen | 2024 State MN generates and is 2nd on the Chanhassen team in scoring at 13 points per game. Barger has a solid shooting motion, can score off the dribble, and is explosive enough to finish above the rim. Barger isn’t afraid to mix it up inside, and he can be aggressive at blocking shots.
Tray Lenzen Tray Lenzen 6’7″ | PF Chaska | 2025 State MN is a six-foot-six-inch 2025 sophomore from Chaska who is averaging 15 points per game and has season high of 26 versus Apple Valley to open the season. Lenzen is a good shooter, and passer, projecting nicely as a stretch four.
Kyle Kallenbach Kyle Kallenbach 6’0″ | CG Orono | 2023 State MN is a six-foot 2023 Senior guard from Orono, and is the 2nd leading scorer in their run and gun system. Kallenbach scored a season-high 35 points versus Delano where Kallenbach displayed his 3-point shooting ability making 6 3s. Kallenback excels at playing quickly and taking good open shots. He’s unselfish moving the ball to open teammates.
Evan Weichert Evan Weichert 6’5″ | SF New Prague | 2025 State MN is a six-foot-four-inch guard from New Prague averaging 16 points per game and recently scored 30 versus Austin. Weichert, I saw this summer with the Minnesota Rise AAU team, was super efficient at the rim scoring at least 5 lay-ups. Versus Austin he showcased multiple faceted scoring, coming off screens for 3-pointers, spot-ups, cuts to the hoop, and driving scores.
