We already highlighted 6-foot-4 combo guard Khaliq Austin and 6-foot-8 stretch ahead Gus McKenna in our opening evening article, in addition to guards Tre Moore, Alex Loos, and Jumair Wright in our recap from the ultimate day of motion. Listed below are six extra juniors who we hadn’t lined but that stood out on the 2026 MBCA Showcase:
KJ Wilson, 6’1, PG, Tartan HS (Minn.), 2028
Probably the most regular participant in Minnesota’s rising junior class, KJ Wilson paced Tartan to a magical season and purchased that very same confidence to the MBCA Showcase. The scoring level guard bought to his spots with ease, was a relentless menace together with his extremely deep 3-point vary, and proved many doubters mistaken together with his skill to facilitate for others . Sitting third in Adidas 3SSB 16U play at 22.1 factors per sport, Wilson has proven that he can get it carried out on a nationwide stage and reminded everybody of that this previous weekend, choosing up a Wisconsin supply.
Ichima Idoko, 6’8, SF, DeLaSalle HS (Minn.), 2028
Enjoying on probably the most stacked staff that the occasion needed to supply, there weren’t as many photographs that got here Ichima Idoko’s means as common, however he made the a lot of the alternatives. The swingman sought out contact each time together with his straight line assaults to the rim, has a few of the softest contact round ending within the paint together with his floater, and was way more engaged on the defensive finish. The highest prospect in Minnesota’s junior class is simply scratching the floor, however the potential that he has as a two means wing is limitless.
Sully Felberg, 6’8, PF, Willow Lake HS (S. D.), 2028
The most effective junior within the state of South Dakota lived as much as his repute at MBCA as an inside/out menace. Felberg is an impressive passer (each from the put up and from the perimeter), controls his space on the glass, and is an elite finisher via contact. Felberg already holds D-1 affords and is subsequent in line out of a Workforce Warwick program that has produced no scarcity of sleepers.
Chase Maetzold, 6’8, PF, Chaska HS (Minn.), 2028
Coming off of a state title in Minnesota’s largest division at Chaska, Chase Maetzold put himself on the radar as one to observe in Minnesota’s junior class. The stretch ahead has an extremely fast launch on his bounce shot, is snug capturing it out to NBA vary, and is ready to put up smaller defenders. Working with Howard Pulley within the EYBL, Maetzold has had the chance to play towards one of the best nationally and it confirmed when he was matched up towards native competitors.
Ryan Dielman, 6’9, PF/C, Sioux Falls Christian (South Dak.), 2028
A participant who I had solely seen just a little of, Ryan Dieleman impressed me together with his agility for a giant at MNBCA. He was excellent working the ground, confirmed the flexibility to comprise on switches defensively, and was a pop menace capturing the ball from the perimeter. Already holding a suggestion from South Dakota, Dieleman is among the growing Midwest bigs price monitoring.
Emmanuel Oyesanmi, 6’5, SF, Tartan HS (Minn.), 2028
Probably the most bodily imposing gamers on the occasion, Emmanuel Oyesanmi confirmed his two means potential at MBCA. The highly effective wing was powerful to cease when he bought going downhill, performed with physicality on each ends of the ground, and created a ton of deflections together with his lengthy arms. As Oyesanmi’s bounce shot continues to enhance, anticipate his recruitment to take off.
