<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The summer AAU season is coming to a close as July is half over. The 2027 class is primed to make its mark on the hardwood this weekend, especially in the front court. Here are the 2027 power forward prospects to track over the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2202029' first='Luka' last='Kuqo'], 6'9 Bergen Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kuqo has had a big spring and June, which should carry over into the weekend. The 6'9 forward has a good face-up game, which he uses to get to the rim and has a good touch around the basket. Kuqo also uses his body to get position down low and has a high release on his free throws. He uses his size and length to alter shots around the rim and skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Kuqo is a skilled forward prospect who should put his game on full display this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2443162' first='Chase' last='Martin'], 6'5 Bordentown</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martin is primed to have a big weekend with his ability to make plays on both ends of the floor. The 6'5 forward uses his strong frame to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. Martin can also put the ball on the floor and rarely forces shots in the half court. He is a force on the boards and holds his ground on the defensive end. Martin is a physical forward prospect who should impact the game at both ends of the floor this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2619576' first='Logan' last='Cleveland'], 6'4 Manasquan</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cleveland made noise during June and should carry it over into July. The 6'4 forward has a solid handle, which he uses to get to his spot on the floor and finishes nicely around the rim. Cleveland is a good passer out of the post and rarely forces shots in the half court. He moves well without the ball in his hands and works hard on the defensive end. Cleveland is a hard-working forward prospect who should make an impact at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2872788' first='Henry' last='Ngoja'], 6'5 Westampton Tech</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ngoja might be an undersized power forward, but that won't stop him from making his impact felt this weekend. The 6'5 forward runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy layups and dunks in the half court. Ngoja has a good touch around the basket and is able to draw contact in the paint. He is a force on the boards and has the length to make an impact on the defensive end. Ngoja's ability to make plays at both ends of the floor will help his stock in a big way throughout the course of the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2845837' first='Malachi' last='McKelvin'], 6'7 Phillipsburg</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McKelvin has been getting more comfortable within the flow of the offense and should put it on display this weekend. The 6'7 forward explodes off the floor for dunks and is able to draw contact in the paint. McKelvin sets strong screens in the half court and rolls hard to the basket. He influences a ton of shots around the rim and fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor. McKelvin is a tough forward prospect whose ability to control the paint will help his stock throughout the course of the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

The summer AAU season is coming to a close as July is half over. The 2027 class is primed to make its mark on the hardwood this weekend, especially in the front court. Here are the 2027 power forward prospects to track over the weekend.
