Mason Dorn of Seymour, Zac Johnson of River Falls, Kobe Johnson of Nicolet, and Cameron Palesse of Waukesha West are repeat selections on the 2021 Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Boys Basketball All-State Team.

High-scoring senior guard Mason Dorn of Seymour finished his four-year varsity career with 1,749 points. That includes a scoring average of 27.5 per game as a senior after averaging 24.4 per contest as a junior. The 6-1 sharp-shooter improved his overall game this year, averaging 8.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game as the Thunder advanced to the sectional finals.

River Falls won the Big Rivers Conference and advanced to its first state tournament appearance in 16 seasons, as Zac Johnson averaged 23.6 points per game as one of the state's top shooters. The 6-3 senior guard added 5.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game as well.

Kobe Johnson of Nicolet took on an even larger part of the offense for the Knights this season, averaging 26.7 points per game for a team that went 14-4 in league play. He repeats as a WBCA All-State selection in Division 2.

Cameron Palesse of Waukesha West helped the Wolverines to the Classic Eight Conference title after finishing third in the state in scoring at 30.7 points per game. The senior Valparaiso commit became more efficient as a scorer and shooter, connecting on 45.1% of his three-point attempts. He added 6.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game as well.

Nate Abel of Beaver Dam was one of the state's most prolific scorers the last couple years, including a senior season that saw him pour in 26.4 points per game, with a career-high 47 points in a win over Janesville Craig. The senior guard also led the team with five rebounds per contest.

The North Shore Conference Player of the Year after guiding Whitefish Bay to a share of the league title, senior Jayden Jackson averaged 19.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. An outstanding multi-sport athlete, Jackson is committed to Division 1 Northern Arizona. 

Senior forward Gavin McGrath of Onalaska showed considerable improvement this season and stepped into a primary offensive role for the Hilltoppers, who went unbeaten until falling in the Division 2 title game to Pewaukee. McGrath, a 6-11 North Dakota commit, more than doubled his scoring average to 12.9 per game, also leading the team with 6.8 rebounds per contest.

Cade Meyer of Monroe helped the Cheesemakers to a 16-2 record this season as the team advanced to the sectional finals. Meyer, a 6-8 Green Bay recruit, averaged 20.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game in 2020-21.

Milan Momcilovic of Pewaukee helped the Pirates to the Division 2 state championship, as the team added an outright Woodland-West title along the way. The team's leading scorer and rebounder at 16.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest, the emerging 6-8 sophomore forward shot 50% from three.

Marcus Tomashek helped Ashwaubenon to a 20-6 record in 2020-21 as part of a breakout junior season. The 6-4 guard averaged 23.4 points per game with a season-high 35 against Oshkosh North early in the season.

Max Weisbrod of DeForest was a key reason the Norskies advanced to the revised Division 1 state tournament in 2020-21. The 6-3 junior averaged 18.2 points per game while shooting 86.6% from the free-throw line and 42.6% from behind the three-point arc.
