Midwest Showdown: Names To Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Which prospects should you keep in mind heading into the weekend? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1561925' first='Andrew' last='Jensen'] -- PF -- All Wisconsin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jensen's stock seems to be on the rise after each weekend of competition. In Appleton, I expect the power forward to take another step forward. As a two way prospect, Jensen is elite. He blocks shots on defense and dunks everything on offense. As he continues to improve, the All Wisconsin standout is set to be one of Wisconsin's best. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1561939' first='Ethan' last='Joling'] -- PG -- All Wisconsin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With plenty of physical gifts to go along with tangible skill on the court, Joling has made a name for himself. The point guard's versatility is truly excellent. His ability to pass, score, and defend separates him from his peers. I look forward to watching Joling play this weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1240335' first='Kai' last='Rogers'] -- C -- Wisconsin Playground</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best players in Wisconsin, Rogers will once again look to prove his greatness. The center brings a physical presence inside that most opponents can't match. As a rebounder and shot blocker, Rogers is elite. He has already garnered plenty of college attention and I expect many more to take notice. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1240337' first='Jake' last='Hansen'] -- SG -- Wisconsin Playground </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hansen's offensive skill is next level. The shooting guard gets it done from all three levels. He makes outside shots with ease, has a nice pull up jumper, and is crafty around the rim. Playing for Wisconsin Playground this weekend, Hansen is looking to once again significantly boost his stock. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2025184' first='Wes' last='Rahn'] -- F -- [program_tooltip program_id='2076023' first='Wisconsin' last='Academy']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Standing at 6-foot-7, Rahn's size immediately stands out. The forward's stature and strength play a role in his success for certain. But his true advantage lies in his pure basketball skill. The forward moves his feet well and has plenty of post moves he can reliably turn to. Rahn is also a sturdy interior defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2397160' first='Stefan' last='Stojilovic'] -- PF -- All Wisconsin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stojilovic has a big opportunity to boost his stock this weekend. The 6-foot-6 power forward has already made a name for himself. Now, he will look to establish his name amongst scouts. A beast on the interior, Stojilovic just knows how to score around the cup. He finishes well through contact and is a sneaky good cutter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Carrington Wright -- F -- Bradley Elite </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wright is certainly a name to keep an eye on in Appleton. At 6-foot-6 with plenty of athletic ability, the forward is a tough finisher and dunker. He has shown some brief flashes of greatness this spring and I will be watching closely this weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
