PH Open Championship 16u 2027 Forward Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These were a few forwards play who stood out last weekend in Indy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140876"],"_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-6882d7cc927fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Luchetti is a workhorse forward who lives for doing the grunge work for his squad. He has a strong base and has no issue throwing his weight around on the interior to get to pay dirt. He scored the basketball often and showed that he could be a threat from the dunker spot. He is nimble on his feet and can guard different positions. Luchetti's has a nice arsenal of post moves he uses regularly when he is down low. Luchetti has a nose for rebounds and collected an ample amount in the games I evaluated him. He has soft hands which allow him to catch passes with ease. I want to see Luchetti become more of a threat from behind the arc I think if he becomes more confident from there he is a no brainer at the low major level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2237726"],"_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-6882d7cc92864"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trueblood is a skilled rangy forward who impacts the game in a plethora of different ways. He is effective operating out of different spots on the floor and showed he can find the rim in many ways. Trueblood is an unselfish player who can make the extra pass to get his teammates involved. His length comes into factor. He showed he could score from three but was a tad more volume then production. I would like to see him make a living in the weight room and adding muscle to his frame which would make the game more easy for him. Trueblood has some untapped potential as a prospect. Looking to see how he develops. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2276971"],"_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-6882d7cc928b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hahnenberg is an effective hard playing undersized forward who makes a living on the interior. He excels at rim running in transition and gets rewarded from his guards with alley-oops. Hahnenberg does a great job using his post moves when he is on the block and can let the game run through him. He is sneaky athletic and can play above the rim. He shows some flashes as a floor spacer and needs to be on scouting reports that he can hit open shots. His strong from allows him to bully his way past defenders. Hahnenberg is a tad robotic but is productive despite his movements. I think Hahnenberg should be a priority recruit at the division two level who could see some sniffs from service academies, my only worry is he more of a 4/5 then he is a three at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2410408"],"_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-6882d7cc928fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wall is a wiry modern day big who is effective using his length on either end of the floor. He was very effective running the floor in transition. He has good timing when going up to alter shots and shag rebounds. I like how he never gave up and always found a way to convert scoring chances. Hoping that he can add some muscle to his frame which would only. make the game easier for him when he has to battle with space eating post players. He would be the ideal candidate for a reclass/repeat situation. He is tracking as a scholarship big with continued developments. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2417301"],"_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-6882d7cc92944"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vinkemeier is a skilled 6'10" post player who showed that he can pass, dribble and shoot throughout the two games I saw of him at the PH Open Championships. He was a threat as a floor spacer converting several shots from behind the three point line. Vinkemeier can be a tactician on the block and isn't afraid to pull out his post moves when needed. He showed he could make the most of chances at the foul line. He does a nice job running the floor as a trailer. Vinkmeier continues to develop with time and should be a priority for low major division ones who need a skilled big who can do a little bit of everything. Will be tracking this prospect closely over the next several months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140675"],"_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-6882d7cc9299a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brezinski is a hard rocking undersized forward who makes a living throwing his weight around the get wherever he wants to on the floor. He exploded on the offensive end showing he can score the basketball at all three levels. He was in the right spots to come up with rebounds. Brezinski has an old school game and would thrive in the noon time hoops league with his smash mouth style of play. He did most of his damage in the half court. He showed that he can guard on the perimeter and got his hands on a few shots. He is very fundamentally sound and doesn't look to over do it with his play. He should be a priority for division two programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
