THE ELITE EIGHT TOWER OF POWER – June 2023
1 Xander Wedlow (Detroit University Prep 6-9 Sr. C/F) — Long, rangy and active, the best rim-running prospect in the D
2 Amari Johnson (Detroit Cass Tech 6-7 Sr F/C) — Brings 24k Magic to the paint in the PSL 24/7, his timely, energetic play was pivotal to the Technicians state-title run
3 Mason Wisniewski (Orchard Lake St. Mary’s 6-8 Sr. F/C)— Hardest working man in the middle out of the CHSL
4 Nnaemeka Ikechi (Warren De La Salle 6-8 Sr F/C)— Just scratching the surface on what he can be, expect a big summer and senior season
5 Trevor Smith (Birmingham Brother Rice 6-8 Soph. F)— A ton of upside, learning how to be great, excellent natural footwork and a soft touch around the hoop
6 Luke Salkowski (Birmingham Brother Rice 6-7 Sr. F/C) — Plays much bigger than his size, the definition of a “Sir-Grind-A-Lot Special” baseline to baseline
7 Nate Washburn (Macomb Dakota 6-8 Sr. F) — Fast improving inside and out, knows how to close out and finish
8 Sebastian Randolph (Detroit U-D Jesuit 6-8 Jr. C)— Space eater with an ever-increasing nasty streak patrolling the post
