How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
1, Defense, I can guard any player on the court. I rise to the challenge of playing defense on the best player and bigger players... it doesn't matter to me. Defense is a huge part of my game. 2, I hustle. You will never see me quit. Perseverance, heart, respect.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I work hard, on and off the court. I go to school, have a job, and play basketball and train year round. I maintain good grades and typically earn high honors. I respect my teammates, teachers, parents, and opponents. I never quit. Every game is winnable in my eyes. Every player has a weakness, and I will find that weakness. Win or lose, I respect myself, my teammates, and my opponents.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
I have always been a team player. I don't think a team runs around me and I prefer to play with a team that wants to play, win and lose as a team. I have been on teams where I have been a leader, ensuring to demonstrate respect and perseverance and working to instill confidence in my teammates. I try to keep my chin up and my teammates.
Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
Absolutely, I've not made teams that I've wanted to make. I faced it my taking what they told me and working hard to improve my weaknesses while still working to improve my strengths. No feedback is bad feedback. I just want to work hard, play hard and keep playing ball as long as I can.
What type of college are you looking for?
Ultimately, I'd love to play for a college that works as a team and is going to help to continue to develop me into the best player I can be. That being said, I just want to play ball! I'm open to opportunities anywhere.

Nolan, a vital piece of that loaded Wisconsin squad, got the job done in a variety of ways, with his playmaking standing out as a major strength. While the team had plenty of scoring firepower, it was Nolan’s ability to read the floor, create opportunities, and keep the offense flowing that often made the difference. Whether it was delivering slick passes in transition or setting up teammates in half-court sets, his vision and basketball IQ were on full display. Nolan’s unselfish style of play and knack for making the right decisions under pressure were crucial to Wisconsin’s deep tournament run.
Nolan does a great job scoring within the flow of the offense, making smart, efficient plays that keep the team moving. He’s especially dangerous off the catch, quickly getting into his shot and taking advantage of any opening the defense gives him. Nolan’s ability to stay patient and pick his spots makes him a key piece, always ready to capitalize without forcing anything.

Appleton Showcase outfit. He knocked down a couple of threes during the first four minutes of the contest, and that seemed to put a spring in his step and he moved exceptionally well without the ball in an effort to get additional looks at the basket. His strong play was a bright spot for All-Wisconsin
in its setback, Lemke averaged 5.7 ppg as a sophomore at Denmark and made 39 three-point shots for the Vikings.
