2023 Under the Radar Forwards to Watch This Weekend

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The July live period is coming to an end as there are only two weekends left in the month. The rising senior class is looking to make a good impression in front of college coaches, especially the players flying under the radar. Here are the 2023 under the radar forwards to watch this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1150270' first='Tyler' last='Koenig'], 6'9 PF DePaul Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Koenig mans the interior for the NJ Hilltoppers and should have a good weekend for them. The 6'9 forward knows how to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. Koenig sets good screens in the half court and is working on his range on the offensive end. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his length to influence shots on the defensive end. Koenig is a physical forward prospect that can finish around the basket and hold his position in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1013072' first='Jalen' last='Pichardo'], 6'6 SF St. Thomas Aquinas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pichardo has had a strong summer with the [program_tooltip program_id='2078574' first='NJ' last='Bulldogs'] and the Dominican Republic U17 team. The 6'6 forward attacks the basket with a purpose and is unafraid of contact. Pichardo is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and elevates nicely on his jumper. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and slides his feet well on the defensive end. Pichardo is a two-way wing prospect who should end July on a high note.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1045872' first='Cam' last='Snowden'], 6'5 PF Franklin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Snowden has been productive for Team United this summer and it should continue this weekend. The 6'5 forward uses his body to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. Snowden draws contact with consistency around the basket and can knock down open jumpers in the mid-range. He is a strong rebounder and makes good decisions with the ball in his hands. Snowden is a strong forward prospect whose ability to control the paint is something that should help his stock in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='609754' first='Darrius' last='Phillips'], 6'7 PF Seton Hall Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Phillips has had a good summer with the NJ Panthers and has the potential to end July on a high note. The 6'7 forward has a strong frame which he uses to get position in the paint and finishes strong around the basket. Phillips moves well without the ball in his hands and has the potential to hit open jumpers on the perimeter. He uses his athleticism to impact shots on the defensive end and is a strong rebounder. Phillips is an athletic forward prospect who should make an impact this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1013098' first='Noah' last='Taylor'], 6'5 SF/PF Colonia</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor is a forward prospect to watch this weekend as he looks to make an impact with the [program_tooltip program_id='2078571' first='MSU' last='Skyliners']. The 6'5 forward attacks the basket strong as he uses his body to draw contact and is a good finisher in the paint. Taylor is becoming more consistent with his jumper and moves well without the ball in his hands. He is tough to box out on both ends of the floor and is a solid interior defender. Taylor is a physical forward prospect who plays with a motor that doesn't stop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Othe Prospects to Watch:</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1150271' first='Jordan' last='Summers'], 6'7 PF Bound Brook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1013095' first='Jayden' last='Holmes-Cotter'], 6'6 PF Freehold Township</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ryan Lesauskas, 6'4 SF Chatham</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1401570' first='Harmehar' last='Chhabra'], 6'5 PF South Brunswick</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1013074' first='Chris' last='Santner'], 6'10 PF St. Thomas Aquinas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
