Junker's elite defensive production over the past 9 months has been nothing short of spectacular, drawing him recent buzz from local RMAC programs. Recently garnering an offer from Metropolitan State-Denver, the forward's high motor and defensive instincts are finally paying off for the next level. His continued growth as an offensive playmaker, both in the paint and from the elbows have made him a fascinating prospect to follow.
