With the best player in the class, Bishop Luers’ forward Sydney Curry, it is hard to argue with the top of this group. Curry helps with the star power but you can also throw in New Castle’s Mason Gillis and Penn’s Noah Applegate as potential high-end players leading the way.
Gillis is among the most interesting players with his depth of skill paired with his aggressiveness. He’s a bulldog down low that only knows how to attack the boards. Only thing that could hold him back is if he doesn’t gain much more height but he’s still the most skilled low post threat. Applegate has already shown some talent as he’s started for Penn this season which isn’t a normal thing for the coach and the school.
Munster’s Noah Lewis and Evansville Memorial’s Sam Devault could be two guys to watch this summer that could make strides forward. Both come from the corners of the state and once they play on the AAU circuit their talent could take the spotlight.
With that being said, we continue our look at the top power forwards in the 2019 class.
