<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our 2025 rankings update saw 30 players make their debut on our list, in this article we'll break down six forwards who were added last week!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2370709"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b0f51ea4c5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was intrigued by what Robinson showed me as a Junior for Sylvania Northview. A versatile forward who could defend multiple positions, Robinson was a strong rebounder who could switch on screens and give help side rim protection. He also flashed some offensive skill as a face-up forward who could also get second chance points. Sylvania Northview graduated some experienced guards who led their offense and that opens the door up for Robinson to take a big step this winter, he could be a breakout player in NW Ohio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2405887"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b0f51ea4d0e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sims took a huge leap this summer and made strides at both the grassroots and high school level. With his grassroots program, Sims played a featured role as the big who was responsible for rebounding and rim running on a team with a ton of perimeter shooting. For defending Columbus regional champion Delaware Hayes, Sims went from a player who received spot minutes to a key rotation piece. I've always liked the frame of Sims and he flashed some ability prior to this summer, it seems things are clicking for him now and he'll have a chance to play a big part for one of the team teams in central Ohio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2461098"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b0f51ea4d91"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bimwal put up solid numbers as a Junior for Springboro with over 7 points and 5.5 rebounds a game. Based on what I saw in June, those numbers should both improve for his senior season. Bimwal has a strong frame and is tough to stop in transition. While I liked his body, rebounding and physicality, Bimwal showed flashes of being a perimeter shooter. Shooting 7/28 from 3-point range as a Junior, if Bimwal can consistently knock down shots off the catch from the outside he can improve his stock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2204903"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b0f51ea4e0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A player I got to see during the last July live period on Sunday with Hidden Gems, Robinson was a player I got to see at our 250 Expo last Fall and hadn't seen since. Getting the opportunity to see him in a prominent role allowed him to show his ability to score in the paint and use his frame to bang in the paint on both ends. Anderson seems to always have some bigger kids and Robinson should play a more prominent role this winter after averaging 4.7 points and 3.3 rebounds a game as a Junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2204974"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b0f51ea4e7f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another player who came to our expo and initially got on our radar but then made his rankings breakthrough after a strong summer, Shadeed is an undersized forward who really competes on both ends. A glue guy who does the little things, Shadeed talks on defense, takes charges and boxes out. Lots of people overlook the dirty work but those are skills that help you win games and it translates to the college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2438798"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b0f51ea4ef5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I caught Pfundstein with [program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last='']-Select this spring and he's a skilled forward who can play on the perimeter or bang in the paint. A good passer for his position, Pfundstein is patient with the ball and sets the table if he's able to draw help defense. Also able to knock down the open shot, Pfundstein can do a variety of things offensively. If Pfundstein can reliably defend on the perimeter he has a nice niche at the small college level due to his offensive skillset.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
