Expert Analysis
Jeremy Brooks | Prep Hoops Scout
One of the best forward out of the state of Iowa for his 2023 class. Works extremely hard on both ends of the floor. Efficient and effective near the hoop with a lot of athleticism to go along with it. Excellent finisher at the hoop with either hand. Physical player who welcomes contact on a majority of his offensive attempts. Lock down defender with the ability to switch onto a guard in pick and roll situations. High-end prospect with a fairly high ceiling to go along with it.

Lueth didn’t put up huge scoring numbers as a junior for the Little Cyclones (7.4 points), but his value comes on the defensive end, where he provides a ton of versatility with his ability to defend on the perimeter, contest shots, and bump down into the paint to defend bigger players when needed. He can defend 1 through 5 at the high school level and should probably be able to defend 2 through 4 as he transitions to collegiate ball. He’s a good athlete with elite length, a pride in defense, and great instincts and timing. Arguably the most impactful defender in the state, he’s also a solid 3-point shooting threat at 6-7, which makes him a very intriguing prospect heading into his senior year.
