Updated 2025 Rankings: Forwards (15-6)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the recent update of the class of 2025 rankings, we will take a look at how the rankings are broke down by position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at part two of the top forwards in the class, ranking some of the best power forwards and centers in the junior class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>15) [player_tooltip player_id='1767529' first='Brandon' last='Edozie'] | 6'8” C | Forest Park (#50 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Edozie continues to climb the list as he has developed nicely over the last few years and become one of the top bigs in Prince William County. At 6'8” he has great size to clog the lane and is very good at challenging shots with his length and timing, he has good touch around the rim and as he's grown over the years he's able to power his way and play above the rim easily.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>14) [player_tooltip player_id='1511636' first='Levi' last='Hamilton'] | 6'8” C | Jefferson Forest (#47 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hamilton is one of the most intriguing prospects in the central part of VA, and surprisingly enough if comes from a school that seems to always have a ton of big men. The 6'8” Hamilton is well built and strong in the paint, he has good hands to catch tough passes and soft touch both around the rim and out to the elbows too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>13) [player_tooltip player_id='2242373' first='Steve' last='Huan'] | 6'10” C | Bishop O'Connell (#43 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Huan may be under the radar and he's still very much a project, but he's shown flashes of big time potential moving forward. At a legit 6'10” you can't teach his height and he has good mobility which will get better as he grows into his body, he shows good touch around the rim and he plays with a good motor which will bold well as he continues to develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>12) [player_tooltip player_id='1767517' first='Xavier' last='Wilson'] | 6'5” C | Colonial Forge (#41 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1718992,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/12/Screen-Shot-2022-12-28-at-4.09.30-PM.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/12/Screen-Shot-2022-12-28-at-4.09.30-PM.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1718992" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilson may not be the biggest guy on this list but he's one of the more consistently productive guys you'll come across as he can impact the game in a number of different ways. He's a load to deal with in the paint and finishes well in traffic, he can score over the shoulder and he can step out and make shots and face up in the short post too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>11) [player_tooltip player_id='1494118' first='Wyatt' last='Norton'] | 6'8” PF | Bishop O'Connell (#38 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1604730,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/76-Wyatt-Norton-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/76-Wyatt-Norton-scaled.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-1604730" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Norton is a guy who got overshadowed at times on this O'Connell team because they're so talented, but he has a lot of upside moving forward to keep an eye on. He's a new age big man who runs the floor and can play above the rim, he can step out on the perimeter and is a good shooter from deep and he can guard both in the post and in pick-and-rolls.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>10) [player_tooltip player_id='2146762' first='Jacob' last='Moore'] | 6'8” PF | Paul VI (#37 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore is another guy who gets overshadowed because he's on such a talented team, but if he was anywhere else he would likely be one of the best players on that team. He's a super versatile forward who has good size and athleticism, can put it on the deck and create shots for himself and others and he's a walking mismatch because of his skill and athleticism at his size.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>9) [player_tooltip player_id='1494114' first='David' last='Miller'] | 6'6” PF | Green Run (#32 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1605058,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Miller-David-CBG-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Miller-David-CBG-scaled.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1605058" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miller's another mismatch guy who can impact the game inside-out and he's consistently productive in a number of different ways. At 6'6” he's a strong presence in the paint who can clear out space and finish through traffic, he can step outside where he can make shots and put it on the deck and he is a very good rebounder as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>8) Colin Pollack | 6'8” C | St. Stephen's St. Agnes (#30 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pollack is part of a talented SSSAS front court that will be one of the best in the NOVA next year, and his versatility is highly underrated. He can work on the perimeter coming off screens or spotting up, he can put it on the deck and get downhill, he has great footwork on finishes and pull-ups and he can make plays for others with the ball in his hands too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>7) [player_tooltip player_id='1489077' first='Elijah' last='Flowers'] | 6'7” PF | Potomac School (#21 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1919712,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/20230416_191145.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/20230416_191145.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1919712" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Flowers is one of the most intriguing prospects on this list, as he's a true new age four man who can play on the perimeter and does a lot of things to help your team win. He can score the ball from all three levels and create shots off the bounce, he makes shots from deep consistently, he can run the floor and hits the glass hard and he can guard multiple positions and lock down different types of scorers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6) [player_tooltip player_id='2242371' first='Josh' last='Hamilton'] | 6'8” C | Highland School (#20 Overall)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hamilton is an intriguing prospect who just continues to get better on this talented Highland team, and he is the type of big that fits well with other talented bigs with all the little things he does. He is a defensive minded big who is a good shot blocker with length and timing, he runs the floor and can play above the rim, he's a very good rebounder on both ends of the floor and he's willing to do the dirty work as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
