<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2029 watch list was updated on Monday with a little over 50 prospects in the update. The power forward group may be small, but it has the potential to make an impact during their debut varsity season. Here are the 2029 power forward prospects to track.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884539' first='Max' last='Alston'], 6'3 CBA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alston joins a talented Colts squad, but still has the potential to make an impact in his first season. The 6'3 forward has a solid face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and has a nice touch around the rim. Alston moves well without the ball in his hands and sets good screens in the half court. He works for rebounds on both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Alston's ability to hold his ground in the paint is something that will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884562' first='Dreyden' last='Garner'], 6'4 Camden</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Garner is looking to make an immediate impact for the High as he looks to make his presence felt down low. The 6'4 forward knows how to get position down low and has a good touch in the paint. Garner can also put the ball on the floor and has a high release on his jumper. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and influences shots around the rim. Garner will be tasked with providing grit on the interior, which will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2879104' first='Flory' last='Kuminga'], 6'7 Patrick School</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kuminga is one of the most talked about prospects in the 2029 class and should showcase why this season. The 6'7 forward explodes off the floor for dunks and can draw contact in the paint. Kuminga uses his size to see over his defender and can also play on the wing. He has the athleticism to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated rebounder. Kuminga is a talented forward prospect who should make his impact felt throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2970382' first='Desmond' last='Rudanovic'], 6'7 Colonia</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rudanovic has the ability to play both the four and the five, which he should put on display this season. The 6'7 forward has a good touch around the basket and can draw contact in the paint. Rudanovic has an underrated handle as he can put the ball on the floor and rarely forces jumpers in the half court. He uses his length to swat shots around the rim and rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor. Rudanovic has the potential to make an immediate impact in the paint for Colonia with his ability to swat shots and finish around the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884536' first='Evan' last='Wells'], 6'5 Middletown South</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wells has the ability to have a big debut varsity season with his ability to impact the game at both ends of the floor. The 6'5 forward runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy baskets in transition. Wells can also put the ball on the floor and makes good decisions with the ball in his hands. He is an underrated shot-blocker and is tough to box out on both ends of the floor. Wells' ability to protect the paint and finish around the rim is something that will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2908168' first='Danny' last='Williamson'], 6'4 Doane Academy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williamson can also play the center position, which makes him an intriguing prospect to watch. The 6'4 forward has a nice touch around the rim and runs the floor hard at both ends of the floor. Williamson is an underrated screener and rarely forces shots in the half court. He uses timing to swat shots around the rim and is able to secure second chance opportunities for his team on the glass. Williamson is a lanky forward prospect who should block shots and finish nicely around the rim during his debut varsity season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2898549' first='Kayleb' last='Wilson'], 6'1 College Achieve</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilson has the ability to play either forward spot, which will help his stock this winter. The 6'1 forward has a solid handle, which he uses to get to his spot on the floor and rises up nicely on his jumper. Wilson finishes well around the rim and is an underrated passer. He slides his feet on the defensive end and is a solid rebounder. Wilson's versatility to play both forward sports is something that will help his development over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

The 2029 watch list was updated on Monday with a little over 50 prospects in the update. The power forward group may be small, but it has the potential to make an impact during their debut varsity season. Here are the 2029 power forward prospects to track.
