<p>The City Rankings continue with a look at the Greensboro forwards. Here’s a look at the Top 5 Forwards in Greensboro’s 2023 class.</p> <h5>#1 [player_tooltip player_id="982146" first="Aries" last="Hull"] | 6’8 F | Winston-Salem Christian</h5> <p>Hull is a new face to the HoopState with offers already from Detroit-Mercy and interest from other D1 programs. He’s a paint presence at 6-foot-8 with a knack for rebounding and protecting the rim on one end and creating in the post on the other. He’ll be one to keep an eye on with the launch of the national boys program in the area.</p> <h5>#2 [player_tooltip player_id="854910" first="Draven" last="Pilson"] | 6’8 F | Forsyth Country Day</h5> <p>Pilson is an emerging versatile prospect at 6-foot-8 that plays with high energy. He looks to operate both inside and out and battles in the paint for rebounds. As he learns to be more aggressive and make things happen, he’ll be another name to watch at Forsyth Country Day.</p> <h5>#3 [player_tooltip player_id="998197" first="Nick" last="Elliot"] | 6’3 F | Grimsley</h5> <p>Elliot was one of the leaders this season for the Grimsley JV squad. He has the ability to knock it down from 3-point range and work down low to get points in the paint. His play should carry over into the varsity level with the departure of [player_tooltip player_id="833089" first="Ahmil" last="Flowers"]. </p> <h5>#4 [player_tooltip player_id="998236" first="Landon" last="Johnson"] | 6’7 F | High Point Christian Academy</h5> <p>Johnson got his feet wet some on the varsity level which should do him some good as he enters his sophomore campaign. He’s a long forward at 6-foot-7 that looks to make an impact on both ends with his size and length.</p> <h5>#5 [player_tooltip player_id="998235" first="Gio" last="Nannucci"] | 6’2 F | Southeast Guilford</h5> <p>Nannucci is an emerging forward prospect that spent time developing his game in 2019-20. He’s a versatile prospect that can fill it up attacking the rim and crashes the boards with great awareness. He’ll be a name to keep an eye on in the area at Southeast Guilford.</p>
