Mile High Madness: 17U - Top Froncourt and Forward Prospects

A handful of the most productive frontcourt prospects and combo forwards, displaying high motors and the necessary skill to capitalize upon their effort.     Praytor was unleashed at this event, routinely contributing spot-up threes and finesse finishes around the basket. Always a threat to throw down a dunk while attacking head on or along the baseline, there are few frontcourt prospects in the state with his skill, length, and fluidity. A routine lob threat, transition breakaways were constant highlight reels for this 7070 group. Defensively, his disciplined rim protection altered or blocked numerous shot attempts, at roughly 4+ blocks per game by my estimate.     Foster was all over the glass, leveraging his strength to move around opponents for rebounds on either end of the floor.     York brings strength and a notably high motor, there are few athletes in the 2025 glass who comb through the glass to his degree. Capable of grabbing three or four straight putbacks against an opposing defense, his quick instincts paired with the physicality make him a particularly productive athlete within the club level.     Jones displayed efficient shotmaking inside the arc, bringing in good size at roughly 6'4. Getting more conditioned to pull-up attempts around the mid-range, the wing took advantage of tight angles and limited windows, embracing the challenge for shots at the basket.     Sparks has made notable improvements to his perimeter shooting efficiency and willingness. Now a routine spot-up shooter out behind the arc, his game is continuing to evolve from a post threat to a well rounded wing. Still retaining the strength advantage at roughly 6'6, Sparks is primed for a huge season at Legend.     Jenkins defends the rim particularly well, often in a conservative defensive position to mitigate opposing drives while playing just close enough to alter pull-up jumpers. At roughly 6'7, his stable defense and quality screen setting have made him a player turned to very much by his teammates.     Junker's positional strength and high motor make him a name that could be attending an RMAC program in the coming years. The lone 2026 on the Flyers' 17U group, Junker has been a quick riser, given his production on the glass and impressive footwork around the paint. Continuing to stretch out his shooting range, the forward is far from a finished product, although he already brings a high floor as a glass cleaner and shot blocker.     Bior was one of the more productive rim protectors at this event, capable of switching onto smaller opponents. Given his lanky frame, the forward was adept at guarding smaller playmakers, swatting away numerous attempts. From spot-up attempts, Bior showed flashes as a knockdown shooter from the corners, stretching out behind the arc on multiple occasions.     Ferguson hit quite a few timely shots from the mid-range, bringing skill and confidence versus contests. Alongside the skill, his high motor propelled him into various putback opportunities on the offensive glass.     Land is continuing to progress his game, attempting a greater volume of catch and shoot threes. Spacing the floor to a greater degree has made him playable at the 3, although he could slide down into the frontcourt role if necessary, given his motor and wiry strength.
