<p>The Class of 2021 is extremely deep up and down the rankings. There are many players to watch that could rise up quickly. Here are some power forwards to keep an eye on this season.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900363" first="Aidan" last="Kehoe"] | Pascack Hills</strong></p> <p>Kehoe was a dynamic scorer during his junior year. He averaged 13 points per game and went over 20 points four times. Kehoe knows how to use his 6’9 frame to gain position on the inside and dominate defenders. He has a soft touch around the rim and a plethora of post moves. Kehoe is a capable passer and defender but thrives on the offensive end scoring points for his team.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900357" first="Nicolo" last="Nobili"] | Paul VI</strong></p> <p>Nobili is a true stretch four that can play inside or on the perimeter. Nobili knocked down 20 three’s during his junior year and was a force on the block. He averaged just 10 points per game and put up 23 in Paul VI’s season opening win. He is an intriguing prospect that will have a big senior year.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900331" first="David" last="Gordon"] | Olympus Prep</strong></p> <p>Gordon is one of many incredible athletes on Olympus Prep. He is a big body at 6’8 and can play multiple positions on the floor. Gordon is a versatile player which helps Olympus Prep make a lineup. He will continue to emerge as a big name prospect around the Prep scene in New Jersey.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900385" first="Mike" last="Rhodes"] | Ocean City</strong></p> <p>If Ocean City needed a play down low, Rhodes was there. He turned in his best game of the season with 20 points in a win over Deptford in the second to last game of the season. At 6’5, Rhodes has great athleticism and instincts on both ends. He can score with his back to the basket or get in the lane for some easy baskets.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900343" first="Naftali" last="Koomson"] | Newark East Side</strong></p> <p>Newark East Side has a trio of guards on the perimeter that can take over games. Koomson can keep the floor balanced on the inside. He is a big body forward that improved game by game last season. Entering his final season, Koomson could turn into a strong option down low on the offensive end.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900342" first="Korey" last="Thomas"] | Union</strong></p> <p>Union is full of talent in the Class of 2021, including Jakin Edmond. They will have some key returners which makes for high expectations. Thomas is a player that can benefit from a boost in role. At 6’5, he has good size on the block and can become a key contributor on both ends.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
