Max’s Mid-Week Wisconsin Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven of the prospects who stood out in the three games I watched this week!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2303643"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698deb6515497"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The guard play of [player_tooltip player_id='2303643' first='Cal' last='Loose'] has been a big reason for Port Washington's success this season. They may not have some of the big name D1 prospects that other top-ranked teams have, but Cal has been so consistently productive this season in leading his team to an 18-1 record. Against Cedarburg on Monday night he put up a team high 18 points, showcasing a smooth release from three, a tight handle to get past defenders, and a lot of toughness on the defensive end. I really like how he competes on the glass as a guard as well, and is able to instantly start a fast break off of a defensive rebound.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2417348"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698deb6515541"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grady is another under-the-radar senior putting together a really nice senior season for Port Washington. He has some length out on the wing at 6'4, with the explosive pop to make plays at the rim. Grady had a big block recovering into position to make a play around the basket, and also had some strong finishes inside. Grady does a nice job of playing off two feet in the paint, allowing him to go up balanced and finish at a high percentage in traffic. Grady finished with 15 points and 4 assists in the win over Cedarburg.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2939626"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698deb65155ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Finn is yet another senior helping lead Port Washington this season. At 6'6 he brings size and strength to the interior, but may surprise you with his perimeter skill as well. On Monday night Finn showed he can step out and hit the open three, and also had a nice behind-the-back move to beat his defender and get to the rim for a right handed finish. Finn averaged just 1.6 ppg last season as a junior, but looks the part of a late blooming prospect starting to put together some strong performances for one of the top D2 teams in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2399934"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698deb6515645"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last week Michael put together a strong showing in a win over rivals Park, and this week it was Michael leading the way with 22 points in a win over Kenosha ITA to clinch a conference title for Case. Lewis initially caught my eye a year or two ago with his scrappy on ball defense, and once again displayed that blend of quickness and tenacity on the defensive end. He's willing to pick up full-court on his own and really pressure opposing point guards. Offensively he's relentless attacking the basket, and also had some nice cuts off the ball leading to easy finishes. Explodes off two feet to rise up and finish in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2224533"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698deb65156b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Silas is an intriguing prospect in the 2026 class. He has that blend of length, explosiveness, and budding skill that isn't very common to find. Silas does a nice job of changing his speed on the ball, helping him to beat smaller defenders off the dribble. Around the basket he showed impressive body control to finish off one or two feet, with the touch to finish high off the glass or the explosiveness to lift off for a dunk when he has a clear lane. Defensively he's comfortable guarding just about every spot on the floor at the high school level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3337295"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698deb6515733"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Khyree has seen his role for Case grow as the season progresses, and the freshman is now in the starting lineup for the Eagles. What he may lack in size as a young player, Brumby more than makes up for with his lateral quickness. Brumby has good instincts off the ball to jump passes for steals or come in from behind and poke the ball free from unsuspecting players. On the offensive end he's able to get into dangerous spots on the floor and kick it out to shooters, while also being a threat to knock down open threes on his own. Brumby hit a pair of threes and added in a floater and putback bucket as Case clinched a conference title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561889"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698deb65157ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's very rare to see a 29 point performance lower a player's scoring average. That's how dominant Amare has been this season for Beloit Memorial. Westosha Central did the best they could on Tuesday night to slow Amare down, but the lefty guard still managed to lead his team to a 16 point win. Amare is typically at his best slithering through defenders to get to the rim, but Westosha kept their defense compact to try to keep him out of the lane. Hereford was able to take advantage as he knocked down a handful of pull-up jumpers at a high percentage throughout the game. One of the best available seniors in the Midwest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
