With the action-packed Wisconsin high school boys basketball season in full swing, it's time to take a look at some of the outstanding players and cast your vote for the best.

There are hundreds of high-caliber boys basketball players in Wisconsin, and these lists are not intended to be comprehensive.

Voting remains open until February 5 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

About Our Player Poll Voting
High School on SI voting polls are meant to be a fun, lighthearted wayfor fans to show support for their favorite athletes and teams. Our goal is to celebrate all of the players featured, regardless of the vote totals. Sometimes one athlete will receive a very large number of votes — even thousands — and that’s okay! The polls are open to everyone and are simply a way to build excitement and community around high school sports. Unless we specifically announce otherwise, there are no prizes or official awards for winning. The real purpose is to highlight the great performances of every athlete included in the poll.
