Somewhat of a man of mystery to most in the region, Sellenriek arrived to Wissahickon as a German import after completing a temporary exchange program at the DIstrict 1 school a year prior. Having grown several inches in the year in between, Sellenriek arrived back in the states looking the part of a bona fide scholarship-level post prospect. Sellenriek thrives in the paint, using his sheer size to carve out space for rebounds, finishes, and blocks. He has plenty of ways to go in his development as he’s still getting acclimated to the speed and style of the American game, but the building blocks are there for Sellenriek to eventually translate to the D1 level with focused work in the years to come. A post-grad year could be on the horizon but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a college program scoop him up as a developmental piece depending on what he’s able to show in EYCL competition, where most college coaches will see him for the first time.

An emerging prospect on the radar, Sellenriek gives Wissahickon a towering presence in the paint and quite the intriguing long-term prospect to boot. New to the U.S. this year from his native Germany, Sellenriek is coming off a recent growth spurt and thus still adjusting to his frame while acclimating to American life on and off the court. He struggled as a scorer on Wednesday but impressed as a rebounder, showing solid hands while hauling in 13 boards, including 8 on the offensive end. He’s a capable decisionmaker with the ball in his hands and shows a smooth stroke at the foul line. Defensively, Sellenriek stays tall as a rim protector and flashed ability to keep quicker forwards in front of him in space. He doesn’t stray too far from the paint and really isn’t worked in much to the Trojans’ offense, but brings clear scholarship-level tools to continue developing over time, with the possibility of a prep year opening up some intriguing potential options as he gets more comfortable in the States.
