Best Available: 2024 Forwards/Centers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the AAU travel season now complete, Prep Hoops Wisconsin takes a closer look at the best available forward and center prospects in the 2024 class...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1. [player_tooltip player_id='1142131' first='Jack' last='Daugherty'] (Brookfield Central)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Daugherty is weighing offers from Lehigh, Penn, Illinois State, Indiana State, Milwaukee, Richmond, St. Thomas, and more. The 6-foot-8 forward has not set any official visits at this point. Coming off a breakout junior season, Daugherty posted 18 points and eight rebounds per game. A skilled, versatile forward that can score inside and out and cause matchup problems, Daugherty is one of the best mid-major prospects regionally, if not nationally.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1142131"],"_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-64cff5924e2fc"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2. [player_tooltip player_id='1203034' first='M.J.' last='Stackhouse'] (Kenosha Indiana Trail)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Leading KIT to a 20-7 record last season, Stackhouse put up 22 points and nine rebounds per game as a junior. The long, athletic forward is one of the best leapers and shot blockers in Wisconsin's 2024 class. Stackhouse also features a budding face-up game where he can size defenders up and go to work from the 12-18 foot range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1203034"],"_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-64cff5924e34d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>3. [player_tooltip player_id='1260947' first='Sam' last='Mickelson'] (Madison Memorial)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mickelson averaged 15 points per game while playing alongside a Division 1 guard recruit. A good blend of versatility, floor spacing, and strength on the interior, Mickelson can get the job done with power or finesse. The 6-foot-7 forward said Southwest Minnesota State, Kentucky Wesleyan, UW-Lacrosse, and UW-Stevens Point were all involved with his recruitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1260947"],"_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-64cff5924e391"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>4. [player_tooltip player_id='1536504' first='Grant' last='Warren'] (Marathon)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Warren listed Michigan Tech, UW-Stout UW-Oshkosh, UW-Parkside, UW-River Falls, and MSOE as the schools showing interest right now. A late bloomer with a big upside, Warren had a terrific summer. At 6-foot-8 with some added length and a versatile game, Warren has mismatch nightmare potential written all over him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1536504"],"_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-64cff5924e3d3"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5. Jonathan O'Neill (Kaukauna)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>O'Neill is one of the biggest upside recruits at the D2/D3 level. A long, athletic forward who can really move and be a disruptor on the defensive end, O'Neill is one of the state's premier shot blockers. The 6-foot-9 senior is also adding to his skillset and starting to show promise as a 3-point shooter. Putting up 13 points and 12 rebounds per game last season, O'Neill is a true junkyard dog that can make his living with effort plays at both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":"","_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64cff5924e411"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Up Next: [player_tooltip player_id='1193219' first='Theo' last='Schofield'] (Sun Prairie), Ben Willinghanz (De Pere), [player_tooltip player_id='1157465' first='John' last='Adams'] (Milwaukee North)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
