Around The State: 2024 Prospects To Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the AAU season now back in full swing, Prep Hoops Wisconsin takes a look at some prospects that college programs need to keep an eye on:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1160035' first='Tamarrein' last='Henderson'] -- CG -- West Salem</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Henderson was recently tabbed as a stock riser by Prep Hoops Wisconsin's Evan Flood. And after watching some tape on the combo guard, I am convinced that Henderson has a really high ceiling. From a physical standpoint, Henderson brings a lot to the table. He stands at 6-foot-4 and is athletic enough to guard multiple positions. On the offensive end, Henderson has developed plenty. He can now consistently knock down outside jumpers and has always been dynamic as a finisher around the cup. Because of his upside, Henderson should start to earn interest from top tier college programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1214393' first='Isaiah' last='Allen'] -- SG -- Milwaukee Lutheran </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was able to see Allen play this past winter a couple of times. And even though he didn't always have the biggest scoring night, the shooting guard always found a way to make a positive impact on the game. Defensively, the Milwaukee Lutheran standout is aggressive and effective. He matches his length with athleticism to create steals and transition opportunities for teammates. Allen is developing as an offensive player, too. The SG can make outside shots and also is very capable as a slasher in isolation. Allen has had a great AAU season and I look forward to watching him play in the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1115917' first='Drew' last='Wagner'] -- PG -- Kettle Moraine </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Wagner is certainly undersized for the point guard position, Wagner doesn't let his size limit him. In multiple games this past high school season, Wagner went head to head with Wisconsin's best. And more times than not, he came out on top of these battles. Wagner is a shifty scorer who can get buckets at many different spots on the court. He thrives with the ball in his hands, as he almost always makes the right basketball play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1142141' first='Derrick' last='Johnson'] -- SG -- Dominican </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson's ability to knock down outside shots is what makes him an intriguing prospect. Opposing defenders can't afford to leave the shooting guard open on the perimeter. Because if they do, Johnson will make them play. The Dominican standout has a quick release and is always moving off of the ball. He finds ways to create openings for himself around the three point line. Johnson is also more than capable of putting the ball on the floor and scoring in isolation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1203034' first='M.J.' last='Stackhouse'] -- PF -- Kenosha Indian Trails </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stackhouse's stock continues to rapidly rise. The Kenosha India trails standout has improved incrementally over the course of his career. But now, it appears that the power forward has taken a major leap. Physically, Stackhouse checks all the boxes. He is tall, long, strong, and athletic. But now, Stackhouse's skills are catching up to his physical tools. The PF has some solid post moves and is also is able to step outside and make threes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1142120' first='Dupree' last='Fletcher Jr.'] -- CG -- Milwaukee Carmen </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Serving as the engine of his team's offense, Fletcher does an excellent job of creating opportunities for teammates. He is a slick and skilled passer who can thread the needle and put the ball where only his teammates can catch it. Fletcher is also very good as a ballhandler. He rarely turns the ball over and can use his handle to get by opposing defenders. The combo guard can also play off the ball and make shots from three-point range. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
