He handles the ball well and at 6'3u0022 can get into the heart of defense at the rim with his strong athletic ability. He can guard multiple positions and has excellent reactions when looking to intercept passing lanes. Bragg can shoot the three-ball too if given the space.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1456844"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Fleming can be that all-around physical player for his team as he likes to make an impact in every area during a game. At 6'4u0022 he can get into the paint whenever he wants to using his strength and skillset around the rim. He knows how to draw fouls at a high rate and does a good job on the offensive glass. He can work the midrange too and can hit some tough jump shots in front of multiple defenders.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1853418"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Whitney is a dominant inside player and looks to take control of that the moment the ball is tipped off. He has good size to be able to work around the rim standing at 6'4u0022 allowing him to take advantage of mismatches. Whitney runs the fastbreak well and is always leaking out ahead to catch that full-court outlet pass. He is a good on-ball defender and looks to give his opponent zero breathing room when looking to drive past him.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1919194"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Prior is a player who can affect the game in all areas of the game. He is very versatile at the small forward positions standing at 6'4u0022 which allows him to guard and play multiple positions. He can score on the inside around the rim with his soft touch or look to be a threat from behind the arc and shoot three-pointers at a high rate. Prior can crash the glass and bring the ball up on the fastbreak as he likes to push the pace. He also thrives in the catch-and-shoot game.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1943555"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Gibson can score in both the inside and outside game and likes to use his 6'4u0022 size to his advantage. He has strong handles for his size and looks to take his defender off the dribble so he can get right to the rim. He has an excellent pump fake that gets players jumping. From three-point land, Gibson has a quick release that looks so smooth giving him the best chance to get it off over closing defenders. He can defend every position and crashes the glass well as a double-double threat almost every game.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6591923a0fa11"} /-->

The 2025 class features many talented small forwards who all have a wide variety of skill-set and they stack up to the rest of their class. These players have shown the flashes and potential of how great they can become. Here are my underrated small forwards for the 2025 class.
