Top Frontcourt Trios in DFW

<p>There is no substitute for the contributions that front line players provide to their teams. They impact the game in so many ways at both ends of the floor. Having three separate individuals in the frontcourt who can single handily change the game while also being able to play alongside one another is often the difference between a good team and a great team. This rings true in the NBA, NCAA, as well as high school. </p> <p>With that in mind, here are three frontcourt trios from the Dallas-Fort Worth area that you need to be on the lookout for:</p> <h3><strong>Duncanville</strong> </h3> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="594591" first="Damon" last="Nicholas"] - 2021 6’4’’ Shooting Guard/Small Forward</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="892162" first="Ronald" last="Holland"] - 2023 6’8’’ Wing/Power Forward</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="787319" first="Cameron" last="Barnes"] - 2023 6’10’’ Power Forward/Center</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="594441" first="Micah" last="Peavy"]</strong> will be suiting up for the Red Raiders in Lubbock next season, but Duncanville will still have plenty of talent on their front line. Nicholas could be considered a two or a three depending on who you ask. He has a really solid all-around offensive game, showing that he can get it done at all three levels while also contributing with his passing and rebounding. Holland is a long and athletic forward with a high ceiling. His defense and rebounding are next level. When you combine that with his motor, he is a force to be reckoned with. Barnes rounds out Duncanville’s front court. The six-foot-ten underclassmen is a bit on the thin side, but he has more than enough time fill out his frame. That said, he possesses a combination of size, skill, and athleticism that simply can’t be stopped. This threesome is poised to lead their school to yet another Final Four appearance in Conference 6A. </p> <h3><strong>DeSoto</strong></h3> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="779854" first="Duncan" last="Powell"] - 2021 6’7’’ Wing/Power Forward </strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="887059" first="Robert" last="Jennings"] - 2021 6’7’’ Power Forward/Center</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="779871" first="Chrisdon" last="Morgan"] - 2021 6’8’’ Power Forward/Center</strong></p> <p>Powell, the No. 8 ranked player in our <a href="https://prephoops.com/texas/rankings/2021-rankings/">2021 rankings</a>, headlines this group. He is incredibly versatile and explosive. He handles the ball like a guard but can get it done in the interior as well. Morgan is a more traditional big who hangs around the basket. He is an excellent rebounder and defender. He follows his shots and isn’t afraid to finish over the top of opponents. Of the three, Jennings is the prospect I am least familiar with. However, I liked what I saw from his game footage. He runs the floor in transition, finishes with authority at the rim, and even stretches out to the mid-range for jumpers. This trio of soon-to-be seniors is going to be tough to match up against, especially with how talented all three of them are on defense. </p> <h3><strong>John Paul II</strong></h3> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="779884" first="Jaylon" last="Tyson"] - 2021 6’6’’ Small Forward </strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="887077" first="Alec" last="Zambie"] - 2021 6’5’’ Small Forward/Power Forward</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="889577" first="Cameron" last="Corhen"] - 2022 6’10’’ Power Forward/Center</strong></p> <p>JPII is coming off a season in which they only lost one game on their way to capturing the TAPPS 6A State Championship. Although they will be losing some key members from last year’s team, their frontcourt will still be composed of experienced prospects. Tyson flew up the rankings a year ago and now sits in our top 10 for the class of 2021. He is a dynamic wing with good size. He was already JPII’s best player as a junior. I’m interested to see if he operates in more of a point-forward role as a senior since the Cardinals will be without multiple guards from last season’s team. Zambie is a skilled three-and-d prospect who fights for rebounds and lose balls, and Corhen is a soft handed big man with a nice touch inside on offense. The wiry 2022 post has a knack for swatting shots too. This version of the Cardinals may not be as dominant as the previous iteration, but they will still be title contenders thanks to these three studs. </p>
