Noticed Decleene’s shot-making ability against Rise Up (Canada) on Saturday afternoon. Ready-to-shoot mindset with strong movement off the ball. Knocked down multiple threes in the game, with three of them coming from the corner. Whether spotting up or using ball screens to create space, he showed the perimeter threat he can be. Delivered some big-time shot making for Wisconsin Blizzard 16U in a 1-3 weekend where each loss was competitive and close. Also showed glimpses of being able to handle the ball and get downhill to the rim.

Finding the bottom of the net five times from three-point range, DeCleene’s marksmanship from deep riddled the G-Elite squad and helped the Wisconsin Blizzard Ice to a 68-42 win in 16U play at the Cream City Collision in New Berlin on Saturday. DeCleene finished the game with 19 points as he also scored a basket in transition and one off the bounce for his squad. A key reserve for Reedsville’s WIAA Division 5 state-title team, DeCleene’s shooting ability and all-around solid play figure to be big assets for the Panthers, who must replace four starters from their 28-3 squad.

A good player on both ends of the floor, DeCleene is the type of player all teams need in order to be successful. He will move the ball, set screens, get on the glass and make big shots. His shooting range extends to outside the three-point arc, but he also can put the ball on the ground and get to the basket to get points. Reedsville has a deep roster returning so it’s unclear if DeCleene will get a varsity uniform in 2025-26. Regardless, his future with the Panthers appears bright as he continues to work his overall game.
