Position Rankings: 2022 Power Forwards

<p>This has been one of the toughest years to get out and see players from a cancelled high school tournament to minimal AAU events. Regardless, we saw as much as we could and now are updating our prospect rankings. Today, we continue with a look at the 2022 class and our breakdown of the top power forwards in the class.</p> <table class="“tablepress”" style="width: 79.10404094288667%; height: 1554px;"

group, maybe one of the biggest groups that could see change in the next year. [player_tooltip player_id="769653" first="Jalen" last="Washington"] retains the top spot as we wait for him to get back to 100% health and dominate like we believe he is going to.  Following him at the top is [player_tooltip player_id="769678" first="Charlie" last="Williams"] and Kebba Nije. Kebba is a transfer to LaLumiere this year and Charlie has seemed to take off this summer and cement himself as a top player in the class.  Where things get great is the next group from #4 to #10 with guys like [player_tooltip player_id="769665" first="Peter" last="Moe"], [player_tooltip player_id="870216" first="Landen" last="Babusiak"], [player_tooltip player_id="870232" first="Caedmon" last="Bontrager"], all the way down to [player_tooltip player_id="774740" first="Isaiah" last="Davis"]. This group has the potential to really jump forward and challenge the Top 10 overall with stellar high school seasons. We did add quite a few new names with guys like [player_tooltip player_id="1063983" first="Sam" last="King"], Cael Vanderbilt, [player_tooltip player_id="1063969" first="E.J." last="Reese"], and [player_tooltip player_id="1063964" first="Raedhyn" last="Foust"]. Tons and tons of talent. There are just as many power forwards ranked as small forwards in the 2022 class which is a great sign.</p>
