MaxPreps 2014-15 Wisconsin Boys Basketball Fab 5 presented by the Army National Guard
1. Dominican (Whitefish Bay)2013-14 record: 25-3, Division 4 state champion
Head coach: Derek Berger
After winning three straight state titles, it's tough to keep a program on the up and up. Apparently not at Dominican. The Knights are stacked again this season and will be long and athletic.
Diamond Stone, the top center in the Class of 2015, leads the way. A consensus Top 10 recruit, the 6-foot-10 Stone is coming off a monster season (24 points, 13 rebounds, 3.7 blocks per game). He is set to make his college decision in mid-November. Senior guard
Tywon Bressler (12 points, four rebounds, 3.5 assists) and
Austin Moutry (six points, 2.5 assists) are also returning starters. The Knights also added athletic
Kostas Antetokounmpo -- brother of Milwaukee Bucks young star Giannis, also called "The Greek Freak."

Head coach: Scott Bork
The Rockets return two of their top three scorers from last season. Marquette commit
Matt Heldt, 6-10, is a handful inside. He averaged 18.2 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per night last year.
Trevor Entwisle is a versatile guard who added 9.4 points and 3.1 assists. Key reserves
Ty Hegg (6.6 points) and
Adam Pronschinske (3.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game) will step into the starting lineup. Transfer
Rodney Scales, who played last season in Oak Park, Mich., should provide scoring (9.2 points per game last season) and rebounding.

Head coach: Jeff Boos
Sun Prairie has four of its top seven scorers returning and also added a valuable transfer from a nearby rival. It should be a fun season for the Cardinals.
Nick Noskowiak, rated the 10th-best point guard in the country by 247Sports, enters his final season. The Marquette commit, who competed in the invite-only LeBron James Skills Academy over the summer, averaged 20 points per game last season. Fellow seniors
JT Ruffin (12 points) and
Malik Robinson (9.6 points) will be Noskowiak's right-hand guys. Sophomore
Steve Wooten (7.2 points) transferred in from Madison East.

Henry Ellenson leads the way for the Warriors. The No. 19 recruit for the Class of 2015 by 247Sports has committed to play at Marquette next season. Last year, the 6-10 power forward averaged 26.8 points and 13 rebounds per game. Senior
Erik Hovde was a key reserve last season who will step into the starting lineup.

Head coach: Jim Gosz
Year in and year out, Milwaukee King has a solid team. The Generals are coming off a berth in the Division 1 state semifinals. Only two starters are back from that team – senior guard
Joe Binyoti (seven points per game) and
Diamantae Freeman (three points). King is a quick team and coach Gosz plans on going eight to nine deep in his rotation.
