Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo: Forwards To Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A list of some forwards that you should know heading into this weekend's Top 250 Expo:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598968' first='Jack' last='Field'] -- SF -- Wisconsin Dells</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Field was one of the many Wisconsin prospects that was able to significantly raise his stock this past AAU season while playing on the Prep Hoops Circuit. The small forward impressed scouts with his ability to score in the mid range. The Wisconsin Dells standout is an excellent mid range shooter who does a solid job of using his size to shoot over smaller defenders. Because he possesses good positional size, the SF also has the chance to add some other aspects to his game. Field is a prospect that I will be watching very closely on Sunday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1022499' first='Bennett' last='Fried'] -- SF -- La Crosse Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think that Fried might be one of the most underrated prospects in the entire state of Wisconsin. The La Crosse Central product really has no weaknesses in his game. On the offensive end of the court, Fried is a dangerous scorer from all three levels. He can knock down shots from three with ease, convert on mid-range jumpers, and get downhill and get layups to fall. On the defensive end of the court, Fried also has some significant upside. He does a good job of using his size and long arms to stay in front of opposing ball-handlers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1039320' first='Brogan' last='McIntyre'] -- PF -- Milton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McIntyre is one of the most exciting prospects to watch in the state. The athletic power forward is a walking highlight. Around the rim, McIntyre is a player that opposing defenders should fear. If the PF gets an opportunity to throw down an impressive dunk, you can bet that he isn't going to waste it. While playing for Wisconsin Playground Club this past AAU season, I thought that the Milton standout showed some real college potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1141075' first='Jonathan' last='O'neill'] -- PF -- Kaukauna</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>O'Neill has the potential to be a really nice piece for Kaukauna. The power forward is a walking double-double. He does an outstanding job of using his size to dominate in the paint on both ends of the court. O'Neill is not a player that shies away from contact. In fact, most times the PF seeks it out. O'Neill is a physical prospect who I will be keeping a close eye on moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1043748' first='Ethan' last='Wall-Atim'] -- PF -- Notre Dame</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While helping lead his Team 1848 squad to a 17U championship on the Prep Hoops Circuit this past summer, I thought that Wall-Atim was able to accomplish some pretty great things. The Notre Dame power forward was able to dominate in the paint. He played great interior defense and scored well when given the opportunity. If he chooses to pursue a college basketball career, I have no doubt that Wall-Atim can help a team at the next level win games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1159275' first='Logan' last='Rindfleisch'] -- SF -- Wisconsin Lutheran </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Playing for a top program in Wisconsin Lutheran, Rindfleisch is a prospect that I would keep a close eye on this upcoming high school season. The small forward owns a lot of impressive skills. He scores well around the rim, can make some athletic plays, and is a capable defender. I wouldn't be surprised if Rindfleisch emerges as an x-factor for Lutheran this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
