1. Xzavion Mitchell Xzavion Mitchell 6'6" | SF Oshkosh North | 2025 State #119 Nation WI (Oshkosh North)
Mitchell is highly underrated right now nationally and across the Midwest. The 6-foot-7 combo forward averaged 19 points, seven rebounds, and two assists in the Nike EYBL alone. That’s on top of 22 points eight boards, and four dimes per outing for North as a sophomore. Mitchell is a junkyard dog with an extremely high motor. He goes off the floor super quickly, able to dominate the glass and protect the rim. A highly unique prospect as well, Mitchell has point forward upside and is able to defend maybe up to five positions on the floor.
2. Devin Brown Devin Brown 6'7" | PF Milwaukee Academy Of Science | 2025 State #196 Nation WI (Milwaukee Academy of Science)
Brown is a walking double-double. A prospect that just gets better and better with time, Brown is very intriguing with his ability to dominate around the rim or take you out on the perimeter and cause matchup problems. An improving outside shooter that looked pretty consistent in July, Brown’s got some real high major ability here. At 6-foot-7 with a budding perimeter skillset, the Milwaukee Academy of Science product dominates games offensively and defensively. Leading the Novas to the state tournament in 2022-23, Brown posted 22 points and 10 rebounds per game.
3. Luka Momcilovic Luka Momcilovic 6'8" | SF Pewaukee | 2025 State WI (Pewaukee)
An emerging combo forward prospect, Momcilovic is starting to turn a corner heading into his junior season. Last season’s Division 2 state title run gave Momcilovic a lot of confidence and now he’s starting to turn into the mismatch problem his size and skillset allows him to be. Also starting to play strong around the rim, Momcilovic can use that 6-foot-7 frame to score inside and generate tough second-chance buckets. Momcilovic gave Pewaukee about eight points per game as a sophomore, but he’ll make a nice job in year three.
4. Jaydon Awe Jaydon Awe 6'6" | SF Pacelli | 2025 State WI (Pacelli)
Just a freak physically, nobody has the measurables of Awe. A terrific athlete with a long, athletic body, Awe jumps off the page. As a sophomore, he averaged 18 points, 16 rebounds, and three assists per game for Pacelli. Right now, Awe is very raw. He’s got all the upside in the world. If the skills catch up to those measurables…watch out. Think somebody at the Division 1 level will take a chance based on his ceiling alone.
5. Alex Thomas (Martin Luther)
Thomas posted seven points and six rebounds per game on a very deep Martin Luther squad. A strong, but mobile and versatile forward, Thomas has a terrific face-up game in the mid-range. He’s even able to work in some step-backs and fall away stuff in the 12-18 foot range. At 6-foot-7, Thomas also knocked down 43 triples as a sophomore, shooting 36 percent from beyond the arc.
