Spiece Run N’ Slam: 17U Prospects to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2023 annual Spiece Run N' Slam tips off this weekend in Fort Wayne. Here's a look at some of the top 17U prospects to track...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1089684' first='Stevie' last='Clark'] - 2024 - SF - Wisconsin Playground Club</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clark holds offers from St. Thomas, Valparaiso, Murray State, and Green Bay. A three-level scorer and multi-dimensional prospect, Clark has some swiss army knife-type ability about him. At 6-foot-5, Clark can space the floor from 3-point range, attack and shoot in the mid-range, and is extremely underrated with his ability to play in the post -- particularly with his mid-range jumper. Also able to serve as an extra ball handler and play a little point wing, Clark had a monster junior season for Oshkosh North, averaging 24 points, five rebounds, and three assists per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1089684"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6450193f20961"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1203046' first='Andrew' last='Graf'] - 2024 - G - MTXE Premier</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lethal scorer that plays with excellent pace on the ball, Graf is one of the more difficult players in the state to defend. Graf is very quick, moves effortlessly through screens, and has an explosive first step. Able to shoot it well from all areas of the floor, Graf averaged 16 points per game as a junior. While he's not a true point guard, Graf surprised by averaging over three assists per game for the Spartans as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1203046"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6450193f209bc"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1142142' first='Jaquan' last='Johnson'] - 2024 - PG - Wisconsin Playground Club</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The most electrifying point guard in the state, Johnson is coming off a 27-point, six-assist campaign for Pius XI. Johnson is the type of lead guard you want at the controls. Always in attack mode and able to beat teams as a scorer and a facilitator, Johnson has no off switch. Grambling State, Kennesaw State, and Bradley are all on board with offers. Don't sleep on the height. Johnson can absolutely play and has held his own on a national level for years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1142142"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6450193f20a09"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1489811' first='Aiden' last='Krause'] - 2024 - F - 24:Up</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Krause is off to a good start this spring and will certainly get some strong tests in Fort Wayne. As a junior, Krause posted 16 points per game for Muskego. Kind of a tweener as a 6-foot-4 combo forward, but Krause causes a lot of matchup problems with his ability to slash and handle the ball on the perimeter. Last season, he shot an impressive 50.6 percent from the floor. Able to dabble across all areas, Krause also averaged five rebounds, two assists, and two steals per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1489811"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6450193f20a52"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1254365' first='Jaiden' last='Martin'] - 2024 - SG - Team Haliburton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martin had a very strong season for Dominican, showing quite a bit of improvement. Early in his career, Martin was mostly a 3-point shooter who let his teammates drive and kick out for open looks. The 6-foot-1 guard has added some nice upper body strength and explosiveness on the ball, able to attack the rim and finish against contact, even when off-balance. Martin plays very low to the ground, able to knife into tight areas. Part of a team full of college prospects, Martin averaged 16 points per game last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1254365"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6450193f20a9b"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1182503' first='Connor' last='Roffers'] - 2024 - SF - MTXE Premier</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top shooters in Wisconsin's junior class, Roffers posted 17 points and three assists as a junior, helping Burlington go 20-6 overall. A steadily improving two-guard, Roffers gets his offense by sizing up defenders and pulling up over the top or reading defenders in ball screens. A knockdown shooter who can score equally well off screens or off a one-dribble pull-up, Roffers has good size at 6-foot-5, which should give him a chance to play at the scholarship level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1182503"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6450193f20ae2"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1351718' first='Aaron' last='Womack'] - 2025 - W - Team Haliburton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Womack has some of the best upside in Wisconsin's 2025 class. A sweet-shooting wing with a long wingspan, Womack can let it fly from anywhere. At 6-foot-5 with some handles, he's got a chance to really develop into a terrific isolation scorer. Leading Dominican to a 17-9 overall record last season, Womack averaged 19 points and seven rebounds per game as a sophomore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1351718"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6450193f20b28"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Stay tuned to Prep Hoops Wisconsin for coverage throughout the weekend</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
