Expert Analysis

Tony Roe

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

Winkel has been on a steady upward trajectory over the last two years, improving himself as much as just about anyone in the 2024 class. A skilled lead guard who can absolutely take over games as a scorer in the blink of an eye, he thrives when he’s playing downhill and attacking the rim, using his toughness to finish through contact. He’s also a gifted passer with a great feel for the game, and he has a sense of when he needs to take over as a scorer, or when he needs to let the game come to him and get his teammates involved. He averaged 16.8 points and 4.9 assists a game as a junior for the Jaguars.

Tony Roe

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

Few players in the state helped themselves more in the last 18 months than Winkel did, elevating himself into a legitimate scholarship-level prospect. A lead guard who can get to the rim seemingly at will, he averaged 16.8 points and 4.9 assists a game as a junior while shooting 47.3% from the floor. His perimeter stroke is still a work in progress but is good enough that it needs to be respected. Armed with a high IQ and great feel, he rarely makes mistakes and is a flat-out winner who is going to make a significant impact at the next level.
