2025 Wings to Watch this Spring

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The spring live period is almost here with the upcoming weekend being the start of it. The 2025 class has the potential to make a name for themselves this AAU season, especially on the wing. Here are the 2025 wings to watch this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1456843' first='Destine' last='Evans'], 6'6 Pennington</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Evans has the potential to play either the three or the four with his ability to play inside and out. The 6'6 forward skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and is a good finisher around the basket. Evans can put the ball on the floor and is able to draw contact in the paint. He has the potential to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Evans is a long, forward prospect who plays with a motor that doesn't stop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411644' first='Z'yaire' last='Simmons'], 6'5 Paterson Kennedy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simmons filled up the stat sheet for the Knights in 2022-23 and it should carry over into the AAU season. The 6'5 wing is at his best attacking the basket as he finishes strong at the rim and is not afraid of contact. Simmons has a solid handle, which he uses to get to his spot on the floor and rises up nicely on his jumper. He is a strong rebounder and uses his athleticism to make plays on the defensive end. Simmons is a talented wing prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1547473' first='Ulysses' last='Webb'], 6'7 St. Benedict's</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Webb has the potential to breakout during the spring and summer as he gets to put his full game on display. The 6'7 wing has a good handle, which he uses to get to the rim and finish. Webb is a solid passer and can knock down open jumpers on the perimeter. He can defend multiple positions on the floor and fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Webb is a versatile wing prospect who will be one to watch over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1558747' first='Kevin' last='Freeman'], 6'5 Arts</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Freeman is an intriguing prospect in the 2025 class and will show it during the AAU season. The 6'5 wing has a good release on his jumper and shoots the ball with confidence on the perimeter. Freeman is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He moves well without the ball in his hands and works hard on the defensive end. Freeman's ability to knock down shots on the perimeter is something that will help his stock in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1823214' first='Shelton' last='Colwell'], 6'5 Columbia</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colwell is a physical forward prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor. The 6'5 wing has a good handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can finish through contact. Colwell knows how to get to his spot on the floor and is an underrated passer. He fights for rebounds at both ends of the floor and gets deflections on the defensive end. Colwell is a tough forward prospect whose ability to make plays down low will help his game throughout the spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411623' first='Chazz' last='Dubois'], 6'5 Hudson Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1773153' first='Reale' last='Basquine'], 6'6 Middle Township</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1557544' first='Jordan' last='Torres'], 6'4 Elizabeth</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411664' first='Malcolm' last='Bragg'], 6'3 Newark Tech</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1413224' first='Robert' last='Foster'], 6'3 Payne Tech</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
