Standout Forwards at the Borgia Turkey Tourney

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the top forwards that we watched on the stream at the St. Francis Borgia Turkey Tourney.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2534745' first='Jamel' last='Hawkins'] (McCluer North): A 6'5" 2027 forward who was one of the best players in the tournament. He was dominant around the basket with his high motor and athleticism. He was a rebounding machine, especially on the offensive end, where he scored on multiple putbacks. He was also very effective when he was driving the ball from the perimeter. He scored on many tough takes to the basket. He was just relentless with his multiple efforts. He earned a spot on the All-Tournament Team after leading the Stars to the championship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cameron Akins (Bayless): A 6'7" 2027 forward who has a lot of ability and has the potential to emerge as an excellent prospect. He is a very good athlete who is already a high-level shot blocker. He has good length and timing and he can track the ball against a player who is driving to the basket against him. He rebounds the ball well and he runs the court with ease. He is just starting to tap into his vast potential. His addition makes Bayless a team to watch this season as they already have a stable of good guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2423361' first='Bryce' last='Collins'] (Borgia): A 6'7" forward who is developing into a solid post player for the Knights. He has a big body and a pair of good hands to catch the ball in traffic. He had one sequence where he made a nice block, then ran the length of the court to grab an offensive rebound. He passed it well to find open cutters and he could step out and hit the 15 footer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2617579' first='Deven' last='Williams'] (McCluer North): A 6'3" 2027 small forward who has a physical build and he uses that strength to operate in the low post very well. He finishes strong around the basket and he also rebounds the ball well. He also has the ability to handle the ball and drive it from the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kenneth Kitchen (McCluer North): A 6'5" 2027 forward who got some quality minutes in the second half against Bayless and I was impressed with what I saw. He rebounded the ball well as he used his strength to establish good position around the basket. He had a nice finish and a three-point play. I like how he would sprint down the middle of the floor to establish early position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lamont Hubert (Confluence): A 6'4" 2027 forward who had some nice moments in the semifinals against Borgia. He had a nice shooting touch on a short turnaround jumper in the lane. He showed his athleticism by blocking multiple shots. He also rebounded the ball well and actually led the fast break on a couple of occasions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
