Star Tribune girls' basketball preseason dream team

Seniors unless noted. College commitment in parentheses.

Rae Johnson, G, 5-8, St. Michael-Albertville (Iowa State)

All-around talent can score, dish and lead.

Mikayla Hayes, PF, 6-2, Park Center (Florida)

Athletic four-year starter has terrific timing, rebounding skills.

Paige Bueckers, freshman, G, 5-9, Hopkins (undecided)

Plays with the skill level and poise of a much older player. Next great Minnesota player.

Rachel Ranke, F, 6-1, Eastview (Kansas State)

Matchup nightmare; can hit from outside and score down low.

Destinee Oberg, sophomore, F, 6-2, Holy Angels (undecided)

Physically overpowering, with terrific footwork and instincts around the basket.
