<p>The HS season is over and we are diving into the individual player rankings for the freshman. We move over to the power forwards and centers. </p>
<p>There will probably be a lot of movement from now until the next HS season since many will train, play in big events, possibly get more exposure than their smaller schools to fully be evaluated versus some of the best in the West. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here we go:</p>
<p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="814038" first="Noah" last="Amenhauser"] (Estrella Foothills) </p>
<p>-A huge post player with big feet and hands has advanced inside moves. He can face-up from mid and in and rebounds well. </p>
<p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="831116" first="Landon" last="Schumaker"] (Basha)</p>
<p>-A highly skilled 4-man can shoot it to the 3pt line plus uses multiple counter moves to score it. Can create own shot with a nice handle. </p>
<p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="945148" first="Oliver" last="Hinder"] (Corona del Sol)</p>
<p>-A fluid shot blocker runs really well. He is light on his toes and moves shockingly well in space. Dunks it easily and rebounds in area. </p>
<p>4. [player_tooltip player_id="814520" first="Isaac" last="Hymes"] (Hillcrest Prep)</p>
<p>-A long finesse player can shoot it well and blocks shots in area. Just needs more PT. </p>
<p>5. [player_tooltip player_id="937182" first="Royce" last="Ramos"] (Pinnacle)</p>
<p>-A very tough cover from inside and out is very cerebral and strong for age. The Pioneers would be smart to play through him next year. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>6 others:</p>
<p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="831120" first="Seydou" last="Tamboura"] (St. Mary’s)</p>
<p>-Had to sit the year from the last minute transfer but will make waves next year with his athleticism and rebounding. </p>
<p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="936907" first="Shane" last="Williams"] (South Mountain) </p>
<p>-A fluid shot blocker, runner and dunker. High upside player for the Jaguars. </p>
<p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="936910" first="Jordan" last="Kuac"] (Ironwood)</p>
<p>-Athletic forward with an insane motor. He explodes off the ground and blocks shots and rebounds at a high level. </p>
<p>4. [player_tooltip player_id="937186" first="Duce" last="Robinson"] (Pinnacle) </p>
<p>-A chiseled power post player who moves well in space. A 3-sport star shockingly has basketball as his 3rd sport. (Football and baseball). </p>
<p>5. [player_tooltip player_id="814506" first="River" last="Bell"] (Paradise Honors) </p>
<p>-A high effort face-up forward rebounds well in area and can shoot it from the perimeter. Younger brother of [player_tooltip player_id="703850" first="Wyatt" last="Bell"] is already 5 inches taller. </p>
<p>6. [player_tooltip player_id="937192" first="Tyson" last="Wheeler"] (Chandler)</p>
<p>-A long rebounder who can score it inside. He is a tad raw but uses his length, height and athleticism to score it inside.</p>
