Here were the Junior Forward Standouts from the week

A power forward is a warrior on the glass. He gets off the floor quickly to rebound and he is an offensive rebounding machine. He can grab and go as he takes a rebound and can take it coast to coast. In the half court set he can rip thru and score in traffic.
Deven Chhabra Deven Chhabra 6'4" | SF Phoenix Country Day | 2025 State AZ Phoenix Country Day
A long wing forward is their three point specialist. He hit five triples on the night and gets the ball off of his hands quickly. He has long arms and moves gracefully around the court. He rebounds well with his length and size.
Trevion Ziaire Turman Trevion Ziaire Turman 6'4" | SF West Point | 2025 State AZ West Point
An active wing forward is good on both ends of the floor. He scores in transition with his speed in the open court, jump hook shots and cuts when he should. He will rebound and uses his length in the passing lanes.
John Peterson John Peterson 6'2" | PF Mesa | 2025 State AZ Mesa
A high motored power forward plays hard in the paint and grabs out of area rebounds. He lives in the paint and is sneaky athletic. He even tried to throw one down that surprised some people. He scored 19 points versus rival Mesa Mountain View.
Luke Danielson Luke Danielson 6'6" | PF American Leadership Academy Gilbert North | 2025 State AZ ALA Gilbert North
An athletic power forward is a quick second jumper who scores it effectively around the hoop. He will score with contested layups in traffic and gobbles up all balls in his area off the glass.
Gary Hoxie Gary Hoxie 6'4" | PF Maricopa | 2025 State AZ Maricopa
A long power forward is a plus athletic to rebound and block shots. He can score off of the pick and roll and slip to the basket or pull-up from mid-range. His length bother his opponents.
Nolan Kramer Nolan Kramer 6'5" | PF Gilbert | 2025 State AZ Gilbert
A power forward with good activity in the paint. He has advanced footwork and patience in the post. He catches tough passes and will go up to score. The lefty has a nice free throw touch and will score on offensive rebound put backs.
