Yusef Gray Jr. Yusef Gray Jr. 6'4" | SG West Allis Central | 2026 State WI — SG — West Allis Central
You don’t see many freshmen contribute on the varsity level like Gray did last season for West Allis Central. The shooting guard averaged 19 points per contest, proving that he can score at a high level. Gray is an elite slasher and finisher. He stands at 6-foot-4 and has good athletic pop. If he continues to develop and improve, Gray will become a true mismatch nightmare.
Deuce Burkes Deuce Burkes 6'3" | PG Milwaukee Academy Of Science | 2026 State WI — PG — Milwaukee Academy Of Science
I was able to watch Burkes play a couple of times this past high school season. Each time I watched the point guard play, I came away impressed. He is very mature and skilled on the court. Now playing for Milwaukee Academy Of Science, Burkes is primed to step his game up to another level.
Lamont Hamilton Lamont Hamilton 5'10" | PG Racine St. Catherine's | 2026 State WI — PG — Racine St. Catherine’s
Speed kills on the court. This is how Hamilton is able to find success on the court. The Racine St. Catherine’s point guard is a blur in the open court. With the ball in his hands, Hamilton uses his quick first step to blow by opposing defenders and finish at the cup. The PG is also an excellent on-ball defender.
Michael Wilson Michael Wilson 6'2" | SG Madison West | 2026 State WI — SG — Madison West
Wilson is no doubt one of the top guards in the state, regardless of class. The Madison West shooting guard is a crafty scorer and passer. For his age, Wilson’s skill is on another level. He scores well at all three levels, using his slick handle and quick shooting stroke.
Josh Manchester Josh Manchester 6'4" | PG Mount Horeb | 2026 State WI — PG — Mount Horeb
It wouldn’t surprise me if Manchester’s name skyrockets up the rankings at the conclusion of the high school season. The point guard is a wizard with the ball. He makes unbelievable passes and is a phenomenal ball handler. I really look forward to watching Manchester develop over the coming years!
