New England's 2025 Power Forwards

Today, we continue our positional breakdown for the Class of 2025 by taking a look at the Power Forwards.   As a reminder, we've approached the positional breakdowns in a different way this week. Instead of covering the top ten prospects at a position or randomly selecting ten, we'll instead look to cover a variety of prospects at each level of the rankings.   What that means is, for every 25 spots in the rankings, we'll try to cover a prospect from that position. If no prospect for a position falls within a given 25 spot range, we'll select the closest prospect above or below that range to highlight.   With that being said, here are ten Power Forwards of note from our latest rankings update.   1-25: [player_tooltip player_id='1532418' first='Vincent' last='Chaudhri'] (#24)   The Northfield Mount Hermon product is a jumbo combo forward that impacts game with his athleticism, length, and versatility. At 6'9", he has great size on the perimeter and is skilled enough to make plays off the bounce in space. He can really shoot the basketball and does so with deep range, making him a tough cover for forwards that aren't used to playing on the perimeter. He is really effective in transition and can really punish the rim when he gets a head of steam. Defensively, he's versatile enough to guard multiple positions and add rims protection from the help side. He heads to George Washington in the fall.   26-50: [player_tooltip player_id='2547130' first='Tyler' last='Francis'] (#39)   The Hotchkiss School product is another jumbo combo forward that shines with his versatility on both ends of the floor. He has great positional size, is super bouncy in the paint, and has long arms that allow him to be disruptive defensively. On that end of the floor, he is a jack of all trades, showing the ability to guard in space and to really make things difficult for opposing ball handlers. He also rebounds with athleticism above the rim and can block shots from the weakside. Offensively, he's a terror in transition that does a great job of attacking the rim as a finisher. On top of that, he's a terrific offensive rebound that just seems to have a nose for the ball off the glass. He will next play at Northeastern.   51-75: [player_tooltip player_id='2325744' first='Jeremiah' last='Ibeziako'] (#62)   The Taft School product is one of the bounciest forwards in New England. A threat to dunk the ball any time he catches in the paint, he uses his athleticism and agility to his advantage as a rim finisher. He can play as a roller and lob threat out of ball screens, runs the floor incredibly well in transition, and has even add the ability to hit threes out of the trailer spot. Defensively, he can guard in space or in the paint, making him a versatile ball screen defender. With his athleticism and motor, he's also able to make an impact on the glass and as a shot blocker. He is an uncommitted prospect.   76-100: [player_tooltip player_id='2546776' first='Chris' last='Daniels'] (#97)   The Northfield Mount Hermon product is a long and lean lefty that has some playmaking skill to his game. When he isn't scoring on the low block, he operates from the top of the key and from the elbows, where he can make plays off the bounce and find open shooters with skip passes. He has the ability to make mid-range jumpers off the dribble and can make standstill catch and shoot threes. Defensively, he's a switchable defender that can keep guards in front of him and also walls up in the post without fouling. He remains uncommitted at this point in time.   101-125: [player_tooltip player_id='2634130' first='Nnadalu' last='Noble'] (#106)   The Brewster Academy product is one of the longest prospects in New England, standing at 6'9" with a 7'6" wingspan. While he puts a ton of pressure on a defense with his ability to cut to and finish at the rim, he also shows intriguing potential as a shot creator from the perimeter. He moves well for someone of his size and with his length, is able to keep defenders off balance. He smoothly gets into his mid-range game and even shows the ability to make shots from behind the arc. Defensively, he's a high level rim protector that makes opponents alter their shots. He is an uncommitted prospect as of today.   126-150: [player_tooltip player_id='2325743' first='Max' last='Pearis'] (#133)   The Tabor Academy product is a good athlete with great length that can operate as a rim protector on the back line of defense. At 6'8" with long arms, he shows good instincts as a shot blocker, high point shots and not leaving his feet early. He transitions from defense to offense quickly, proving to be a good rim runner that gives great effort in transition. He sets good screens, rolls hard to the rim, and has a big catch radius and reliable hands. He's a solid finisher that can finish over size or through contact at the rim. He will play next year at Franklin & Marshall.   151-175: [player_tooltip player_id='1532442' first='Rylan' last='Singh'] (#172)   The Noble & Greenough School product is a mismatch forward that makes plays both inside and outside of the paint. While he's a capable back to the basket scorer, he's really efficient in catch and shoot situations and also when left open at the elbows. In space, he can operate as an initiator, showing a nice feel for the game as a passer. Defensively, he does well moving his feet laterally which allows him to be an effective ball screen defender. He uses his size and length to his advantage as a shot blocker. He will head to Claremont McKenna next season.   176-200: [player_tooltip player_id='2546908' first='Amare' last='Marshall'] (#190)   The St. Bernard's product is long, lean, and versatile forward that plays with a high IQ and great effort level. His length and quickness make him a tough cover on the offensive end, as does his ability to make plays with his dominant left hand. He has a quick first step, seemingly glides to the rim off the bounce, and can finish with length at the basket. He improved as a shooter this season and is now a reliable scorer from the perimeter. He does a good job of using his length defensively and as a rebounder and can really get out and run in transition off of turnovers. He remains uncommitted at this point in time.   201-225: [player_tooltip player_id='2547098' first='Niko' last='Catalano'] (#215)   The North Andover product is a do it all forward that makes plays that impact winning on both ends of the floor. Offensively, he can operate as the hub of an offense, showing the ability to make plays that lead to scoring opportunities. He does a lot of work from the short corners, elbows, and top of the key; making plays off the bounce as a facilitator and knocking down short jumpers over smaller defenders. He plays with a high motor, crashes the offensive glass, and can really score in transition. Defensively, he has the ability to guard up and down a position and controls the glass with his ability to carve out space on box outs. He will continue his career at Endicott.   226-250: [player_tooltip player_id='2811759' first='Tristan' last='Robbins'] (#225) *   The Caribou product is a physical presence that does the majority of his damage in the paint. A state champion this winter, he proved capable of taking over games as a hard working, high motor, physical forward. He can score over either shoulder, from either block, but also impressed with his ability to get to the rim off the bounce from the midpost. He passes well out of double teams and can play through physicality at the rim. Defensively, he makes smart plays in ball screens, guards without fouling by the rim, and can really dominate on the glass. He heads to Maine-Farmington in the fall to continue his career.
