The most talented prospect right now in this group is Hamilton Southeastern’s Brennan Schofield. He’s a face-up four man with some seasoning under his belt. He’s joined in the Top 5 by North Central’s Caleb Brown, Plainfield’s Gavin Bizeau, Gary Roosevelt’s DaKei Hines, and Anderson’s Marquavious Beverly.
In regards to the makeup of this class, the power forwards have some legit size and quite a few of them will be over 6’8. Not many with elite size but Bizeau could end up the tallest of the group at 6’9 and still growing. Even down the list you can find some size with guys like Caleb Middlesworth at 6’7 and Ali Alquaraishy at 6’5 and sprouting up. Another aspect of this group is versatility. Basketball as a whole is pushing for more mobile big men who can stretch the floor and there are plenty here. You obviously have the top guys like Schofield and Bizeau but even guys like Middlesworth, Kitchell, Reynolds, and Hines all fall into that category.
The other thing I really like about this class is the amount of prospects at the post positions. We have 15 power forwards listed already and then you have the centers coming in the next update. That is quite a bit of depth for a class that is still two years out from graduation. Overall, this group is talented but not elite guys yet. Still some growing to do but there are a few to watch this summer as they look to breakout very quickly. With that said, here is the class of 2018 Power Forwards.
