The high school basketball season is set to tip off, and once again, the state of Illinois features some of the top talent in the country. Specifically, Illinois’ Class of 2023 will showcase several future Division I and Power 5 college basketball players who will look to further prove themselves in 2022-23. Here is a look at the 10 best Illinois High School Athletic Association (IHSA) boys basketball players in the Class of 2023.

10. Asa Thomas, SF, Lake Forest
Thomas is one of several standouts in a strong group of talented wing players in Illinois’ 2023 class. The 6-foot-7, 185-pound small forward has been a star on the AAU circuit for the Illinois Wolves during his high school career, but has also impressed while on the court at Lake Forest. As a junior, Thomas averaged 17.4 points per game, showcasing his smooth shooting stroke. While he held several offers from in-state schools and other Midwest Power 5 programs such as Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, Thomas officially announced that he will play his college basketball at Clemson this past summer.
