Top ’28 Bigs and Forwards from the Great Lakes Challenge

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some of the best bigs and forwards that The Great Lakes Challenge had to offer, top performers in their respective categories. In today's game, the frontcourt is an ever-evolving position. These are the guys who are great spokes on the wheel that is frontcourt basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2537820"],"_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-69caaa69a1bad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avion is a lanky forward who creates offense on the defensive end, using his frame to force turnovers, then looking ahead in transition and leading his teammate to the basket with the pass, resulting in easy offense. This type of play from Taylor translates well to any level.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2706439"],"_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-69caaa69a1c27"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">King is comfortable with the ball in his hands with his back to the basket, something rare to see even from bigs in today's game. He has soft touch around the rim, finishing post moves or collecting putbacks off the boards. On the other end, Pierce-Black heavily affects the opposing offense's looks in the paint, his presence and size forcing inefficient shots.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2453721"],"_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-69caaa69a1c83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">While Bryce is a little undersized in the forward category, he makes up for his lack of size with his high-motor defense and relentless effort attacking rebounds. On the other end, Twymon finds himself at the rim, where he finishes strong and often.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3569893"],"_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-69caaa69a1cda"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gavyn shows a mix of a modern game along with some lost arts. Wagemaker plays well off two feet, allowing himself to remain under control and keep his options open, using a pivot that covers a lot of ground. He gets to his spot efficiently; oftentimes, it's a mid-range look, the lost art.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
