He does a good job of scoring within six feet with good touch around the bucket. Pendergrass finds ways to get to the foul line. He uses his length to alter shots. Pendergrass is a threat as rim runner and can finish above the rim. He is one of the best forwards in the country. The key for him is being consistent and realizing it's a marathon not a sprint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1729823"],"_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-679a4efc8f23a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Perry is an undersized forward who plays a lot bigger than his size. He is active on the interior and does a good job of getting 2nd chance efforts. He has good touch around the bucket. He can guard multiple positions. Perry has a lunch pail mentality and doesn't mid doing the grunge work. Perry does a great job of buying into a role for the good of the team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341404"],"_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-679a4efc8f2a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cook is a mismatch nightmare who has an expanded offensive repertoire. He can score on the interior and is a threat to stretch opposing defenses with his ability to stretch the floor. Cook has an elite feel and can quarterback the defense from either block. Passing is one of his best skills as a player. He is active on the glass on both ends of the floor. He has an aggressive motor and should be on colleges coaches radars across the eastern seaboard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1370511"],"_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-679a4efc8f2ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Siaca-Bey is a physical forward who thrives inside of eight feet. He does a good job crashing the boards and finding ways to get 2nd chance efforts. His ability to rim run is one of his elite skillsets. He moves well without the ball and thrives in dump-off settings. He uses his length to alter shots. He shows flashes attacking closeouts. Siaca-Bey can slow the game down. He shows flashes as a passer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2759596' first='Marcus' last='Henry']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Sacred Heart Yonkers","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Tens United MHC","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679a4efc8f3ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Henry is do it all forward who does a little bit of everything in his game. He can guard multiple positions. He uses his length to cover ground with ease and can alter shots and gather rebounds. He takes advantage of what the defense gives him and can get a bucket in a moments notice. Henry is very under the radar and it's only a matter of time before he has his coming out party and his name will be known by a lot more people. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These are a few junior forwards in the northeast that need to be on college coaches radars.
