He loves getting downhill and is equipped to finish through contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1782682' first='Latrell' last='Allmond'] | John Marshall</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Allmond is a dominant force around the basket on both ends of the floor. Anytime he gets the ball with two feet in the paint, he's a threat to go up and dunk the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1782685' first='Evan' last='Brown'] | Highland</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown plays off two feet in the paint and this helps him finish consistently in traffic. The 6-foot-7 forward also gets lots of easy buckets just by sprinting in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1782692' first='Ripp' last='Kodi'] | Bishop Ireton</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kodi plays with a high motor and gets a lot of second-chance points as a result. He's listed at 6-foot-5 with long arms that provide a natural touch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Jordan Smith Jr. | Paul VI</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith was one of the first names that came to mind when thinking of this list. A simple Twitter search will reveal his extensive highlight reel of finishes. Smith is an explosive leaper off one or two feet. He seems to be even more effective at finishing in crowds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1782698' first='Kong' last='Tangwa'] | Potomac</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tangwa has soft hands and knows how to use the backboard to his advantage. The 6-foot-5 big is very efficient at converting points in the lane. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
