<p>Lundgren had a remarkably successful high school career, highlighted by amassing over 1,200 points. He displayed a well-rounded 3-point shooting ability, effectively using his outside shots as a weapon during drives and kicks, rather than solely relying on them. His athleticism enabled him to excel in rebounding, and he consistently created opportunities for his teammates. At the next level, he could be a promising NWAC/D3 prospect. Lundgren possesses a strong left-to-right crossover, gets to the rim effectively, and his elevation allows him to finish through contact. He demonstrates unique skills off the bounce, showcasing exceptional balance while dribbling into shots, including the ability to dribble backward into a shot. He is also a natural catch-and-shoot player with range extending beyond the arc. Likely the most impressive aspect of his game is his ability to simply let the game come to him. He does such a good job of not forcing the issue, and his off-the-ball movement also makes him more impressive. Clutch shot-making has also been a big part of his games as he has been able to hit tough free throws and tough jumpers and drives to the rim when it matters the most. </p>
