Northern Colorado Team Camp: Productive Frontcourt Names

These interior defenders provided immense value anchoring the paint, providing immense value either protecting the rim or providing consistent offense around the rim.     Speckman stayed active around the rim, quick to create scoring looks out of the post. His smooth footwork down low has created plenty of shot attempts around the rim, an efficient presence under the rim. Playing alongside a variety of differing backcourt options, as opposed to last season, Speckman has already gelled with the new names. Routinely setting up shotmakers through physical screens, Speckman's production will be imperative to Lutheran's success this season.     Miller stayed ready to push the break following a rebound, fairly mobile for his height. One of the more productive shot blockers in the 2025 class, the 6'7 forward's timely rotations have provided Colorado Academy with plenty of momentum in transition. A high motor forward, Miller brought constant activity on the defensive end, vocal communicating screens to his perimeter teammates. Continuing to develop his offensive skill set will be important to Colorado Academy next season, likely seeking a greater offensive role from the incoming senior.     The lanky incoming 2028 frontcourt prospect will be a household name very quick here in the state. Providing legitimate rim protection at near 7' tall, opposing shotmakers had to work hard to create openings versus such length. Alongside the rim protection, Betts displayed soft touch around the rim, effective contributing high hand finishes following over the top passes into the post. Few prospects in the state with his measurements, Betts will be a fascinating prospect to follow through the quickly approaching high school season.     A common name from these summer events, Summers is a smooth scorer in the paint, capable of controlling the paint from his presence alone. His size advantage provides an obvious advantage against the vast majority of these frontcourt opponents, adept at creating space to score in his spots. Elite pivoting into attempts for ambidextrous finishes, he has a diverse portfolio getting into finishes around ther rim. There is no mystery as to why the forward has been garnering interest from the D1 and D2 levels, simply too productive at these events.     Barger's high motor and notable mobility at his height continue to provide valuable defensive impact with Eaglecrest. Continually on the prowl for second chance opportunities, he remains much more mobile than the majority of 6'8+ frontcourt opponents. Consistently up and down the floor about as quick as anyone else, he brings notable mobility and rim protection. Another area of value is the low post hook shot, comfortable contributing those attempts through the immediate contest.     The lanky forward possesses a wide reach, another potential rim protector to a Cherry Creek roster featuring plenty of up and coming names across the board. Splitting the minutes with [player_tooltip player_id='2418491' first='Dylan' last='Betts'], the forward's active hands and urgent rotations assisted this group mightily. Certainly an intriguing defensive prospect at Creek, he will be a name worth following through the next few seasons.
