<p>The 2021 Maryland/DC rankings were just recently updated and it is now time to dig in a little deeper into the rankings. In this article I will be highlighting the top five small forwards from the DC area.</p>
<p><strong>6’7 [player_tooltip player_id="902002" first="Quincy" last="Allen"] | Maret</strong></p>
<p>There has not been a lot of activity involving Allen within the last 12 months because of injury but Colorado is getting a national level recruit that will be a dynamic two way player in the Pac-12.</p>
<p><em>Overall ranking: No. 4</em></p>
<p><em>Positional ranking: No. 3</em></p>
<p><strong>6’4 [player_tooltip player_id="902010" first="Afamdi" last="Achufusi"] | Sidwell Friends</strong></p>
<p>Achufusi was expected to have a big senior season at Sidwell before the pandemic hit. He is another prospect on this list that can be effective at the next level as being a good two way player. </p>
<p><em>Overall ranking: No. 50</em></p>
<p><em>Positional ranking: No. 10</em></p>
<p><strong>6’3 [player_tooltip player_id="902025" first="Malcolm" last="Dread"] | Gonzaga</strong></p>
<p>In my opinion Dread's best basketball lies ahead of him. Dread can defend at a high level and has been more consistent on the offensive end over the last year. He is a name to remember in the Atlantic 10 during his day at Richmond.</p>
<p><em>Overall ranking: No. 52</em></p>
<p><em>Positional ranking: No. 12</em></p>
<p><strong>6’4 [player_tooltip player_id="836494" first="Maurice" last="Johnson"] | Cesar Chavez</strong></p>
<p>Johnson is an absolute bucket as he was the top scorer in the area last year. If play resumes this winter, Johnson has a chance to lead the area in scoring again which would be mighty impressive to do so two years in a row.</p>
<p><em>Overall ranking: No. 78</em></p>
<p><em>Positional ranking: No. 19</em></p>
<p><strong>6’3 [player_tooltip player_id="902033" first="Kris" last="King"] | Archbishop Carroll</strong></p>
<p>King had a great summer and definitely earned a bump in our latest updated rankings. King will do whatever is needed on both sides of the ball to help his team win.</p>
<p><em>Overall ranking: No. 79</em></p>
<p><em>Positional ranking: No. 20</em></p>
