Max's Mid-Week Wisconsin Prospect Standouts

Seven of the prospects who've stood out in the three games I've watched so far this week!    Kaleb was showing flashes of a prime Russell Westbrook on Monday night, putting up 41 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists to lead his team to a triple overtime win over Kenosha Tremper. The senior guard threw down a nasty putback dunk right over a defender, showcased his range beyond the arc, and was dangerous getting into the lane and dumping it off to his bigs around the rim. Kaleb has a strong frame that will help him adapt at the college level next season, with explosiveness around the basket that you don't often find at the high school level.     Chris seems to improve each time I see him play. A very long and lanky 6'6 forward, Retic was just about automatic any time he touched the ball near the basket. He can score with a baby hook, or knock down a turnaround jumper from the 8-12 foot range. With his length and high release point, Tremper defenders had a hard time getting a good contest on him. Defensively he's able to move his feet with ease to guard smaller players, and was a real difference maker blocking/altering shots around the rim. He put up 36 points and 20 rebounds in the triple overtime game.     Ben's shotmaking was a big reason why Tremper went to triple overtime against Golda Meir. Just about any time he was able to find a pocket of space out on the perimeter, Ben was putting three points on the board. He has a quick release off the catch, and did a nice job of shot faking before taking one quick dribble to the side to create space. It was his three point shot from the volleyball line that tied things up at the buzzer to force the first overtime.     Juneau made the trip down to Kenosha to take on St. Joseph on Tuesday night. Dooney got off to a quiet first half, but after taking a hard foul midway through the second, he took over to help his team pull away. Dooney threw down a pair of high flying dunks, had a nice spin move into a mid-range jumper, had a handful of strong finishes inside, and was able to dish out a number of assists leading to dunks from his teammates. Not many teams will have a player with the length and athleticism needed to slow down the Gonzaga commit.     Chris did a great job of keeping his team in it with #1 ranked Juneau for most of the game. He's so crafty around the basket, timing his pick ups perfectly to catch defenders off guard and get them in the air early before he simply steps around to finish. Even against a Juneau team that is filled with length and athleticism, it was the 6' Kenesie often coming out with two points when he got into the lane. Defensively he's rock solid on the ball, and is always going to be the first player on the floor fighting for a loose ball.     After falling to Brookfield East earlier in the season, Evan put up 26 points to lead Central to a revenge win last night. The senior guard had a lot of success slashing into the lane, dishing out a handful of assists to his big man inside, or finishing on his own. Prusko showed impressive body control to take a bump and keep his chin at the rim to still finish through the contact. Brookfield Central have now won four straight games, and look to be getting hot heading into the playoffs.     Henry may not have put up eye-catching scoring numbers last night, but his presence inside helped open up a lot for his teammates. When Henry caught on the block, defenders were looking to collapse on him, and he showed the vision needed to see the floor and kick it out to an open shooter out on the perimeter. Late in the game as things started to open up more, Henry was able to step in from the dunker spot for a pair of two hand slams, giving his team the momentum to pull away late. The Green Bay commit also flashed his range with a couple of perimeter jumpers.
