Milan Momcilovic Milan Momcilovic 6'8" | SF Pewaukee | 2023 State #44 Nation WI — SF — Pewaukee
Momcilovic has developed into an elite basketball player. On the offensive end of the court, the small forward is unstoppable. Momcilovic has a pretty jumper from beyond the arc and does a tremendous job of using his positional size to convert on shots over smaller defenders. Bottom line: When the Pewaukee prospect gets the ball in his hands, it often signals trouble for opposing defenders.
Prentice Young Prentice Young 6'4" | CG Wisconsin Lutheran | 2023 State #273 Nation WI — PG — Wisconsin Lutheran
Before suffering a serious knee injury, Young was on pace to be a top five prospect in Wisconsin’s 2023 class. Because he missed so much time, the Wisconsin Lutheran point guard dropped in the rankings. But now that he is at full strength, Young is proving that he is still a premier talent. The PG is an elite two-way player. There aren’t many prospects that can lockdown on defense while still being able to get buckets like Young. If I were a college program, I would certainly take a look at Young.
Kon II Knueppel Kon II Knueppel 6'6" | SG Wisconsin Lutheran | 2024 State #15 Nation WI — SG — Wisconsin Lutheran
Knueppel just makes everything look so easy on the court. The Wisconsin Lutheran shooting guard is just such a smooth scorer. He does an outstanding job of using his handle to get to his spots and knock down difficult shots. We all know what to expect from Knueppel when he steps on the court at this point. He is a very talented player who is going to shoot the ball at a high level.
Nick Janowski Nick Janowski 6'3" | SG Pewaukee | 2024 State #126 Nation WI — CG — Pewaukee
Janowski might be the best pure shooter in the state. When the combo guard sets his feet and lets the ball fly from long range, it almost always goes in. Janowski’s ability to knock down long range shots puts a lot of stress on opposing defenses and often opens up scoring opportunities for his teammates. I am expecting Janowski to tally some impressive numbers this season in the Woodland-West.
Jaquan Johnson Jaquan Johnson 5'10" | PG Pius XI | 2024 State WI — PG — Pius XI
Johnson is so much fun to watch. While playing for Wisconsin Playground Club this past AAU season, the point guard really caught my eye. I loved how much effort Johnson played with. Even if his team was trailing by a large margin, the PG still gave it his all. He relentlessly attacks the basket and plays tough defense. Even though he is undersized, Johnson doesn’t let his size limit him in the slightest.
Devin Isaj Devin Isaj 6'6" | SF Greendale | 2025 State WI — G — Greendale
Coming off an extremely productive freshman season, Isaj is a prospect that I have circled heading into the upcoming high school campaign. The 6-foot-4 guard out of Greendale is very talented. He can score in many different ways and is also a plus defender. It is only a matter of time until Isaj is recognized as top prospect in the state of Wisconsin, regardless of conference. College programs should certainly keep a close eye on the guard.
