Premier Western Slope Forwards

These frontcourt assets have found success this past season and up throughout the summer months with club, featuring skillsets that are sure to provide positive impact yet again.    Recently committing to RMAC program MSU Denver, Thomason looks to take Fruita Monument deep into the playoffs yet again. A bouncy swiss army knife forward, he retains his defensive abilities as a switchable defender and high motor asset on the glass. Posting 16.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, he is about as efficient around the rim as anyone out on the Western Slope. Making strides as a scorer from self-created looks, the forward is working to be a shotmaker off the dribble, namely with the pull-up jumper. Already a dependable weapon out of ball screens, he is a constant threat while rolling towards the basket, given the elvetain he gets. The Elite 8 program will go as far as Thomason can take them, although they are still quite possibly the best coached program out west, cementing themselves in another playoff run.     Ferguson will be set for another high usage season with Montrose, following 17 points and 8 rebounds per game averages this past season. Adept as a paint and mid-range scorer, the forwards soft touch on those attempts makes him a dependable score above opposing contests. Already a serviceable face-up shotmaker, he is making strides with his off the dribble scoring, more comfortable creating looks for himself. His post scoring has been a staple for years, adept at feeling out his opponent for spin moves or pivot finishes. Bringing a wealth of offensive tools, the next step will be stretching out his range, further opening up his opportunities.     Applegate was especially productive this past season, posting 9.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game; he is a physical presence at roughly 240 pounds. Boasting a low center of gravity move around opponents, there are only a handful of names in the region who hold up against him in the paint.     Through his second season Teter proved to be one of the most productive shot blockers out west, bringing in a strong frame at 6'4. The dual sport athlete has found success with the dirty work, actively leveraging his physical tools to alter shots at the basket. About as effective as grabbing rebounds on either end of the floor, he has a shot to put up near double double figures if his offensive game can take strides. At his best as a slasher or screen setter, Teter should be in position     Tuning will provide defensive value at roughly 6'3, capable of holding his own versus a variety of frontcourt matchups. Bringing a lanky frame to contest shots at the point of attack or in the help side, his ability to manipulate opposing shot takers will be essential towards Fruita Monument's defensive success when Thomason rests. On the opposite end, Tuning has found success around the rim, quickly getting up attempts through contests.
