More New Names of Forwards/Posts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri brings you a group of New Names of players at the forward position that we watched during the first couple of weeks of grassroots action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126073' first='Suldan' last='Mohamed'] (KC Spurs 16U): An athletic 6'7" 2025 forward from Blue Springs South who was impressive when I saw him at the Prep Hoops Kansas City Clash. He has good length and he plays with excellent activity, especially when he goes on rim-runs. He can score around the basket and make a slashing move from the high post area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>James Porter (Phenom Boys 17U- National): A 6'5" 2024 forward from Cardinal Ritter who poses a unique matchup problem with his size and skill set. He has a big body and he has a some solid low post moves, which include a nice jump hook over the left shoulder and some very effective dream shakes inside for turnaround jumpers. He is also comfortable on the perimeter as he can hit the 3-pointer or he can go coast to coast for a layup off of his own defensive rebound.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1872264' first='Oliver' last='Puljic'] (Arsenal Hoops 16U): A 6'8" 2026 forward from Rockwood Summit who is playing up at the 16U level and holding his own very well. He has some pretty good bounce around the basket as he has thrown down some impressive dunks in traffic along with some good shot blocking on the defensive end. He does a good job being the second man off the ground when the shot goes up. He's active and he has a nice touch around the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Luke Eggemeyer (Silver Bullets 17U): A 6'4" 2024 forward from Saxony Lutheran who really operates well out of the high post area. He can hit open cutters with his passing ability and he can make the 15 footer or put it on the floor to make a move. He also moves well himself to find the open spaces in the defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jamile Johnson (Missouri Flight 17U): A 6'8" forward from Parkview with a long and slender build who runs the court well and is an excellent rim protector inside. His length and timing enable him to get to shots without fouling, and he keeps the ball in play. He finishes well in the paint and will also throw down a dunk in traffic. He also passes the ball well out of the post to an open cutter or a perimeter shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brady Campen (Crossover Elite 17U): A 6'6" 2024 forward from Highland who plays with impressive athleticism and a high motor. He runs the court well and he's capable of making those high energy plays that can get his team going, whether it's a chase down block on the fast break or a slam dunk on an offensive putback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1544599' first='Landon' last='Schlanger'] (Arsenal Hoops 17U): A 6'7" 2024 forward from CBC who plays the Stretch 4 role very well. The lefty is an excellent 3-point shooter who is ideal in the pick and pop. He scored 23 points in one of his team's victories over the weekend. He can also hit the one dribble pull up jumper. He also does a solid job on the defensive end with his good positioning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stefan Higgins (Phenom Boys 17U- National): A 6'6" 2024 forward from Northwest-Cedar Hill who has a big body and plays with a workhorse style around the basket. His effort is excellent and he uses his strength inside for low post position and for rebounding. He catches the ball in traffic and finishes well. I also like his second and third effort plays on the offensive boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
