Notable Forward Producers in the 6A/5A Southwestern League

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Contributing mightily towards competitive programs out West, these names are crucial towards the success of these groups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1369822"],"_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-67aba25b8fb48"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ferguson is a top forward within this league, bringing soft touch around the basket with either hand. Adept at filling open space while off-ball, his activity makes him a constant threat while operating around the baseline for cuts as needed. Successfully anchoring the defense off of switches and timely rotations, he brings active hands to contest shots as needed. Comfortable as a screen setter or alternatively off the slip, his is a handful while operating around the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1369815"],"_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-67aba25b8fb9f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The athletic forward is too much to deal with for the vast majority of opponents out West and even throughout the rest of the state's 6A opponents. A lob threat at all times, his ability to fill openings in the halfcourt around playmaking teammates makes him a dynamic threat at all times. What allows Fruita Monument to compete with the best of the best in the state is in large part from Thomason's defensive abilities thanks to the size and athleticism down low. Capable of guarding up given the verticality and active hands, this team has some special traits that make them a formidable playoff opponent once the time comes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2772120"],"_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-67aba25b8fbe6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Henderson has brought consistent scoring down low, effectively operating out of the low block or roll. A strong forward who looks to go right at opposing defenders, the vast majority of frontcourt defenders out west struggle to contain him. Capable of forcing help defense against mismatches, Henderson is a capable post playmaker within this area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2390378"],"_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-67aba25b8fc2a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rocco brings great instincts on the help side, bringing good athleticism to cover ground and get up to swat away shots. One of the better shot blockers in this league at 6'3, he plays a valuable role in Montrose's overwhelming physicality that irritates the majority of opponents in the region. Forcing opposing drivers to earn every shot attempt in the paint, he looks to be as physical as possible when contesting shots down low. As well as a threat to space the floor, he remains an intriguing two-way weapon for this group.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2772119"],"_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-67aba25b8fc6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Huskey is never satisfied when it comes to rebounding the ball, always in play for second chance opportunities. Part of what allows him such success in the paint is his constant movement, blazing ahead past opposing box outs. The motor adds to Fruita Monument's overall grittiness on the defensive end, given their physicality on the glass and aggressive shading towards the strong side. Additionally a threat along the baseline for timely passes, Huskey works to generate great looks playing off of playmakers with the ball. Additionally capable of scoring from post-ups against mismatches down low, he is a high IQ player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2772115"],"_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-67aba25b8fcaf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Although only standing around 6'2, Cullum's motor is commendable, boasting an assertive mindset when going at the rim. Bringing a quick second and third jump, he brings great endurance when battling for possessions requiring a certain scrappiness to secure the ball. Quick to move the ball off a defensive or offensive board, Cullum understands his role and is a big part of Durango's success at this stage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
