Noah Kronberg

Kronberg will be one of the top point guards in the class of 2028. Screenshot this if you don't believe it. He played unselfish basketball at the open run, advancing the ball and getting it to the right spot. But at one point, when his team needed a bucket, Kronberg went and buried a couple quick triples, reminding everyone there that he's also a high level shooter and scorer.

Saline High School

I've been here before with this group. Only a few years ago the Hornets featured a deep and talented group of underclassmen headed by arguably the top player statewide in the 2026 class. What happened then? A raft of transfers and players moving their interest over to the gridiron forced a quick rebuild. Why will this group be different? While they do not feature the top overall player in the class, this group loves to play and compete. They are positionally balanced and have a little bit of everything. Ideally, you start a team with a point and big. Junior Noah Kronberg is the consummate point guard. While he plays the position well, he is also outstanding shooter capable of getting his own shot. Big man Becker Samaha (pictured) is an imposing and improving junior with a ton of upside. At 6-8 with a large frame you might be hearing his name more next year after another year of development.

Kronberg has been showing out all spring and summer, so why not 1 more time for good measure? The young man just gets the game. He's dependable with the ball and can get hot with his shot. Kronberg plays the game 'the right way', and it's so refreshing to see a PG play that way in an elite camp atmosphere.

Last year Freeland's Wilson Huckeby had the state's top shooter designation sewed up pretty early. Who will it be this year? Kronberg made a strong case this weekend with his exploits from beyond the arc. Has a smooth and quick release with little wasted motion. The quickness of the release is the key as he is not the tallest prospect. The height isn't that much of concern though. As Kronberg is not a two guard. He is a natural point who just happens to be an excellent shooter. Nothing to flashy. A sound ball handler who makes the right play. Not a blur but doesn't need to be with the deep range. If I am making him sound like a subpar athlete, he is not. Quick enough and has lateral speed to get to his spots. Just not an explosive above the rim finisher at the moment. That could change, as he still has two years to develop.

Noah plays with the poise and control you want in a guard running the show. He is a high-IQ floor general who dictates tempo, gets his team into the right sets, and rains shots from deep with confidence. His 36% shooting from beyond the arc ranked among the top five in his conference as a freshman, while his 81% shooting from the free throw line makes him a trusted closer in tight games. Offensively, he makes the right read, never forcing plays, but always ready to capitalize when the defense slips. Defensively, he prides himself on being a stopper, using his quickness and anticipation to disrupt possessions, collect deflections, and force turnovers.

In his first varsity season, Noah didn’t just blend in, led his team in scoring at 11 points per game, starting as a freshman in one of Michigan’s toughest Division 1/Class A conferences. His biggest improvement over the season was in strength, finishing at the rim, and defensive aggressiveness. This offseason, his focus is on getting downhill with purpose and attacking the basket more consistently, adding another weapon to his already well-rounded offensive game. He’s coming off a standout performance at NY2LA’s The Final Chapter, scoring 22 points (6 triples) with 4 rebounds and 3 steals while playing up in the 16U division, helping The Academy 2028 go 4-0 on the weekend.

Noah is an energetic leader who communicates constantly, plays hard every possession, and locks in on the small details that lead to wins. He stays composed under pressure, never rattled by adversity, and focuses on the next play no matter the situation. That mindset has already earned him recognition as the only freshman in the conference to receive All-SEC honors.

Noah’s high school goals include guiding his team under a new coach, continuing to lead as the primary floor general, and pushing for a deep playoff run. On the AAU side, his mission was to control the offense, play hard every game, and keep his attention locked on the details that separate good from great. Off the court, Noah keeps his life grounded in faith, spending time with God, enjoying moments with friends, and watching and talking basketball whenever he can.

I assess that Noah’s mix of perimeter shooting, high-level decision-making, and defensive energy makes him an asset to any program. His ability to run an offense while hitting shots at a high clip forces defenses to respect every possession. With his composure, vocal leadership, and knack for elevating teammates, he brings a steady and competitive presence that translates to winning basketball.

As Noah continues to build his strength and develop his downhill game, expect his scoring options to expand and his impact to grow even more. His proven production against older competition shows he can handle the speed and physicality at higher levels. With his work ethic, leadership qualities, and skill set, Noah is poised to be a player who not only thrives in high school and AAU but could draw serious attention from the next level. Stay tuned for a breakout season ahead.
