5 Versatile Senior Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are five versatile senior forwards who bring flexibility to their teams and an ability to fill various roles, freeing up teammates to excel on the court. These guys will all bring a key presence with their size and skill this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2380113"],"_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-68afb823eb8aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Huff has the ability to be an absolute game-changing defensive player with his length, reactions, and desire to compete. We saw it first-hand last season as he earned DPOY in the KingCo Lake, and he's continued to impact games as a shot blocker, sneaky off-ball defender, and a guy who can guard multiple positions. He's shown some smoothness attacking the paint too, and when he is on rhythm offensively, he's one of the more dynamic players at his position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2021630"],"_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-68afb823eb93c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malisani is a shorter post who has a strong frame and can work angles inside to get shots off. He also has a good enough stroke to step out and knock down some shots, and has enough control with his dribble to use his body and move smaller defenders to depth from mid-posts and the perimeter. And he's also a pretty astute passer from different areas, which allows him to bring some unique versatility from the forward spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2383155"],"_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-68afb823eb9a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walker is a unique player at 6-foot-7 who can step out and get hot from behind the arc, but also has some craftiness attacking gaps and the paint. Loves to use a slow step, is effective at stepping around defenders on the move and staying balanced, and can really challenge defenders near the paint in creative ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2021622"],"_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-68afb823eba10"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's in store for a big season with Ferndale this winter and is a real shooter with size who can also add in some rim impact with his rebounding and defensive versatility. Most impactful as a scorer/shooter, but has the toughness to compete by the hoop and make an impact in multiple ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2205045"],"_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-68afb823eba91"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wettlaufer is an explosive jumper who can make a real impact around the rim with his rebounding, and is especially effective catching the ball with momentum to the rim. He's also shown an excellent outside shot off the catch and can be a legitimate threat from three in the pick-and-pop, in transition, and floating out to play off penetration.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
