Here are the ten (not in order)
Marley Curtis of St. Louis Park/Grassroots Sizzle (6’6 SF). Curtis is a versatile wing with the modern length and agility that teams look for. The potential is strong.
Micah Curtis Micah Curtis 6'8" | PF St. Louis Park | 2025 State MN of St. Louis Park/Grassroots Sizzle (6’6 SF). Micah is much like his brother in terms of agility and potential although he had a big bigger numbers this winter for his team.
Tray Lanzen of Chaska/Minnesota Fury (6’7 PF). A bit of a sleeper because his high school team struggled this year but I really like Tray’s shooting touch and he looked like the modern scholarship stretch four when I watched this winter.
Max Lorenson Max Lorenson 6'2" | SG Eden Prairie | 2025 State MN of Eden Prairie/Minnesota Select (6’1 PG). Lorenson is an agile guard that loves to get into ball screens and attack in isolation. Good defender too.
Daniel Molhoek Daniel Molhoek 6'8" | C Edina | 2025 MN of Edina/Minnesota Select (6’7 PF). Daniel’s face-up game is much improved, he’s more agile than I first realized, and he’s a hard worker that helped Edina play better than many expected.
Peyton Podany Peyton Podany 6'4" | SG Anoka | 2025 State MN of Anoka/Minnesota Select (6’3 PG). Good size, tough, crafty, and maybe the most important was how consistently productive he was in both creation for others and scoring himself.
Duke Richardson Duke Richardson 6'2" | CG Minnetonka | 2025 State MN of Minnetonka/Minnesota Select (6’2 PG). Richardson was the combo guard this year for the Skippers playing whatever role the rotation required and at times applying the big punch needed.
JJ Semanko JJ Semanko 6'4" | SF Hopkins | 2025 State MN of Hopkins/Minnesota Lockdown (6’5 Forward). Agile with potential JJ started and averaged double digits all season surprising many as he came out of nowhere to a degree.
Anthony Smith of Hopkins/D1 Minnesota (5’11 PG). A gym rat, a big time ball handler in separation, and a player that scored 20-21 a game for a top ten team.
JJ Sullivan of Eden Prairie/D1 Minnesota (6’2 SG). More agile than I thought, handles are better than I thought, but all of that is water under the big bridge of elite shooter. Sullivan is a special shooter.
Desmond Ware Desmond Ware 5'10" | PG Robbinsdale Armstrong | 2025 State MN of Robbinsdale Armstrong/Real Phenom (5’10 PG). Love his ball pressure ability, touch on the move, and his willingness to move the ball and create open shots for teammates. Grows two inches every year it seems too.
