<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In today's game, the power forward position demands more than just size—it requires versatility, floor spacing, and the ability to defend across multiple positions. Coaches are constantly searching for forwards who can stretch the floor, rebound with force, and protect the rim without sacrificing mobility. The six power forwards featured here are answering that call. Whether it's their shooting touch, defensive versatility, or upside as modern hybrids, these prospects are drawing steady interest across the country. Here's why coaches keep calling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1592890"],"_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-685fffed6a9c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2854586' first='Austin' last=''] is an athletic stretch forward with perimeter skill and the versatility to slide between the 2, 3, and 4. He knocks down threes with confidence, scores at all three levels, and adds real value on the boards. Defensively, his mobility allows him to switch across matchups, and he consistently competes on the glass. Coaches keep calling because he brings spacing, scoring, and physical presence—exactly what programs want from a modern hybrid forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Translatable Skills:</strong><br>✅ 3-Level Scoring<br>✅ Perimeter Shooting<br>✅ Rebounding Versatility</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2510773"],"_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-685fffed6aa4a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Billy is a skilled floor spacer with elite shooting ability and the versatility to contribute at both forward spots. His length makes him disruptive in passing lanes, and he's shown the ability to provide weak-side rim protection. He rebounds well for his position and continues to improve his perimeter defense, especially when switched onto smaller players. Coaches keep calling because of his length, shooting, and long-term upside as his frame continues to develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Translatable Skills:</strong><br>✅ Elite Shooting<br>✅ Disruptive Length<br>✅ Passing &amp; IQ</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2476666"],"_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-685fffed6aaad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aeneas is a smooth, technical wing with both size and shooting touch. He spreads the floor effectively and uses angles to get open, while his defensive length provides value in contests and rebounds. His movement without the ball consistently creates scoring opportunities in flow. Coaches call him because he brings balance and polish with minimal drama—a plug-and-play wing for structured systems.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Translatable Skills:</strong><br>✅ Ball Movement Shooting<br>✅ Floor Spacing<br>✅ Defensive Length</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560885"],"_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-685fffed6ab12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isaiah is a high-motor wing who brings relentless energy, toughness, and physicality on both ends of the floor. He crashes the glass, finishes through contact, and consistently outworks opponents for extra possessions. Offensively, he's improving as a perimeter threat and now knocks down mid-range jumpers with confidence. Coaches keep calling because of his non-stop motor, physical tools, and evolving offensive skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Translatable Skills:</strong><br>✅ Rebounding Effort<br>✅ Mid-Range Scoring<br>✅ Defensive Grit</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2454445"],"_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-685fffed6ab77"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anthony is a fluid, athletic wing with explosive transition ability and above-the-rim finishing. He scores efficiently off the catch, adds mid-range touch, and brings real pop when attacking the lane. Defensively, his quickness and energy allow him to contest, recover, and cover ground on the perimeter. Now attending DeSoto High School for his senior year, he's gaining attention for his tremendous athletic upside and two-way potential. Coaches keep calling because he offers dynamic scoring and tools that continue to rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Translatable Skills:</strong><br>✅ Transition Scoring<br>✅ Athletic Finishing<br>✅ Defensive Quickness</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1593018"],"_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-685fffed6abd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ethan is a skilled and athletic 6'8" forward with the versatility to play both the 3 and 4 at the next level. He's an efficient scorer who stretches the floor, finishes on cuts, and hits the glass on both ends. Defensively, he switches comfortably, provides help-side rim protection, and continues to improve as a perimeter defender. With strength, mobility, and feel, he has the tools to be one of the top prospects in the class. Coaches keep calling because of his two-way production, positional flexibility, and elite motor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Translatable Skills:</strong><br>✅ Floor Stretching<br>✅ Positional Versatility<br>✅ Rebounding &amp; Defensive Impact</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
