Feddersen is a legit 6’9 (I measured) forward who can put the ball on the floor and get to his spots, who switches onto guards and can defend as he’s very mobile, and also grabs the boards and starts the break. He was able to do whatever it is he wanted in his sophomore season as he was one of the best 2028s in the entire state, but this weekend it was a bit up and down. His shot was not falling as it typically does, and opposing teams looked ready to wall up and go all in on slowing him down and making others beat him. You could tell that was a bit of a shock for him as he attempted to force his way through it with tough shots and aggressive post-ups, but he was certainly rattled. He still had those moments where he took over and showed flashes of dominance, like when he finished with 27 points against a talented Cherry Creek squad, but he will have to get back to the basics. Boxing out, slowing down, and letting the game come to him, and reading where the double is coming. The last piece is getting more confident on the block as he has overwhelming size and excellent footwork, so he needs a bit more post touches, especially on mismatches, to not allow so many perimeter doubles. He will also have to start going quickly before teams set up for him, and you can tell that it was finally starting to click for him as the tourney progressed. It will be a bit of a renaissance for him as he will have to adapt his game and be better than a season ago, as he has all of the physical tools and skill to take his game to another level. This was a wake-up call weekend for him, in my opinion, just in the sense of how to still be his same effective self with game plans against top competition with fatigue kicking in. At the Elite camp, he looked like his usual self. He was athletic with soaring dunks, one of the more skilled bigs in the ball-handling portion, and hitting the 3-ball. I still believe this was a successful weekend for him, and with the focus on adding different pieces, he and that Chatfield team are going to be able to make noise this year. 

Feddersen has been one of the most dominant interior presences we’ve seen this spring, impacting the game at a high level on both ends of the floor. Offensively he’s a difficult matchup because of his versatility and skill set. He uses crafty footwork and strong moves around the basket to create scoring opportunities, while also showing touch on smooth mid range jumpers. His athleticism allows him to finish above the rim with powerful dunks and alley oop finishes that energize his team. Defensively he serves as a true anchor, protecting the paint with shot blocking ability and consistently altering opponents attempts around the basket. What makes him even more dangerous is his ability to step outside and knock down the three point shot, forcing defenders to guard him everywhere on the floor. His complete two way impact has made him one of the most impressive players of the spring

Feddersen is a player who we were certainly high on coming into the season after a big summer, and he backed it up with a damn good sophomore campaign. The 6’8 small forward showcased the ability to put the ball not he floor, he can run the offense as a facilitator, step out and shoot the 3-ball or be the focal point on the block. His size already stands out, but how fluid he is is what separates him. He moves well and finishes with transition dunks, pull up-3-pointers, and back-to-the-basket finishes as well. Feddersen averaged 17 points and 5.3 rebounds a game this year. He’s the one opposing teams had a difficult time slowing down, and he makes his way into the Top-5 for the first time. 

Feddersen continues to validate the belief that he’s a high-level prospect. He has great size, plays physical, and brings a polished offensive package. What pops about him is he can score in the mid-post, stretch it out with the 3-ball and putting it on the ground with pressure, and finish through contact. I wanted to see how he looked against bigger, high-level competition, and he delivered. He never backed down and kept going right at opponents. He rebounds, finishes, and produces no matter who he’s against. The more you watch him, the more complete his game looks. I feel like I was first on Feddersen stock, but I want more.

Nolan Feddersen Nolan Feddersen 6'9" | SF Chatfield | 2028 State CO is coming off a sizzling hot 14-point performance where he knocked down 40% of his three-point looks, not to mention he’s 6’8, so good luck to opposing defenders trying to get a hand up. Feddersen does a phenomenal job using his wide wingspan to create space inside and out on offense. Having a shifty forward on your roster is invaluable in today’s game, and Feddersen brings a level of composure that can’t be coached. Averaging 17.4 PPG in his sophomore campaign thus far, we’re seeing a massive improvement from his freshman year, coming up with 4.3 PPG. Having developed a consistent jumper from distance and taken his game to new heights, it’s scary how good Feddersen will become over the next couple of years.

Fedderson scored 19 points in a tough loss but left no doubt about his heart and determination. He consistently competes at a high level, never settling for bad shots and always working to carve out space inside to get buckets. He played with intensity, mixing smart, aggressive offense with tough, no nonsense defense. Even in a losing effort, his willingness to attack, defend and lead by example stood out, showing he’s a player who refuses to back down and keeps his team in the fight every possession

At the break, Fedderson is leading all sophomores in scoring. He’s putting up an impressive 20.7 points a game, and when watching him, you can see what makes him special. He is the class’s most versatile player as he can play and defend 1-5 despite being 6’7. He’s the team’s primary ball handler; he reads when double teams are coming and remains aggressive despite getting so many looks. He’s put up 15+ in every single game on this year, rebounds out of his position, and is a two-way force. He’s a player who continues to rise with his play, but he also has a very high ceiling. He’s cracked the Top-10 for the first time and looks to continue to rise. Make sure to get eyes on Feddersen. 

Feddersen has firmly earned his spot on this list thanks to his immense upside and versatility. Standing 6’8 with a true inside out game he can immediately alter matchups. His length allows him to protect the rim, finish over defenders and control the glass, while his ability to stretch the floor forces defenses to respect him well beyond the paint. This fall he’s shown growing confidence in his game as is playing assertively, embracing contact and trusting his skill set. Feddersen looks ready to take a major leap and become a true difference maker for Chatfield this season

Nolan’s versatility just pops. He’s a skilled big who can stretch the floor, initiate offense, and finish with soft touch inside. I came away impressed with how skilled he is. It’s not just size, but he’s also very polished. The confidence teammates have feeding him says everything, and he plays beyond his years. He’s reliable and unselfish but can also take over. He handles it, shoots it, and looks comfortable at all levels. He’s one of those young prospects you want to buy stock in now.

Fedderson’s upside is as high as anyone in the class. The 6’8 big man runs the floor, finishes above the rim, and uses his size to seal defenders for easy touches. He’s shown touch around the basket and confidence in the mid-range game that makes him a weapon. Defensively, he alters shots and controls the glass, and that will only make him an even more complete player. He’s still developing, but his skill, size, and mobility make him a long-term prospect worth serious attention, and we can’t wait to get more eyes on him this season.
