2025 Small Forwards Worth Another Look

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These forwards make an impact on the glass, alongside moldable skill sets that have already set them apart from others in their grad class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1848640' first='Jeremiah' last='Iman Jr.'] - Far Northeast</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The multi-sport athlete, Iman is notably quick with his vertical rise, combined with a functional baseline with the shooting form. The sophomore shooting guard stands right around 6'3, allowing him plenty of room to rise up above the nearby defense. Through his season with 12-11 Far Northeast, Iman posted 6.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game. At his best in transition, Iman is up and down the floor, especially quick, comfortable finishing layups through traffic or getting to that short floater if the lane closes. His upside resides on the defensive end, certainly athletic enough to battle 1-3.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1848552' first='Devin' last='Eaton'] - Holly</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eaton is a physical wing who can get big, backing down smaller matchups or knock down shots outside of the paint. The sophomore played a vital role in Holly's offensive production, proving impactful as a secondary playmaker. Getting a large dose of efficient looks within the offensive flow, Eaton is a tough cover when curling off of the screen, getting downhill with ease and scoring layups through contests. On defense, he is aware of help rotations, staying in place to swat away shot attempts. Through his season with 17-6 Holly, Eaton has posted 12.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. Expanding the range on the spot-up jumper will be imperative at the next level, we will be keeping tabs on his volume next year.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1848550' first='Eddie' last='Harmon'] - Pikes Peak Christian</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harmon is a walking double double not due to raw size, but excellent timing and grittiness against larger opponents. The 6'2 forward has put up notable statistics through his sophomore season with 13-8 Pikes Peak Christian, posting 14.1 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2.1 steals per game. He does a great job going up with both hands, making sure to secure the rebound through traffic. Continuing to develop his handle will be imperative, given how often he gets on the glass outside of self-created opportunities.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1717270' first='Truman' last='King'] - Holly</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>King possesses excellent hand eye coordination, showcasing soft touch around the rim. The 6' guard is equally valuable with or without the ball, seeking out scoring opportunities off of the ball. Through King's season with Holly the guard has put up 11.1 points, 5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 2.4 steals per game. The guard has some bounce too, getting up for rim grazers when the lane presents itself in transition.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1848646' first='Isaac' last='Dove'] - Skyview Academy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dove is an impactful two-way rebounder with this group, standing right around 6'3. The forward put up 10 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2 steals per game, truly a pest off-ball. Dove is constantly lurking around the glass, seeking out scoring opportunities around the rim. Primarily scoring off of cuts and putbacks, Dove has a high energy baseline that keeps opponents guessing. His next step of progression will be developing the ball handling ability, potentially getting more self-created shot attempts in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
