Bigfoot Hoops Easter Showdown: Impact Forwards With Length

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, I feature Class of 2027, 2028, 2029 forwards who did a little bit of everything for their respective teams this past weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2389573"],"_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-69d41ecfa8f09"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2389573' first='Joe' last='McKinney'] was a force out there at the Bigfoot Hoops Easter Showdown. The powerful forward bullied his matchup in the paint often and drew contact on a number of his finishes. McKinney also crashed the boards on a regular basis and made his opponent uncomfortable on the defensive end with his physicality and length. Overall, it was a strong showing from him, and I also caught a highlight of him dunking over somebody.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3553639"],"_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-69d41ecfa90d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3553639' first='Navarius' last='Page'] already looks like a potential stock riser. The Hardwork Dedication big man towers over other players at 6'8 and can outrebound most opponents by high-pointing the ball. Page's height also helps him score in the paint, and he is a threat to score second-chance points. Defensively, he takes up a lot of space around the rack, and drivers have to account for him before deciding to go up with it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2844484"],"_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-69d41ecfa9169"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Issaiah Thompson has quite the vertical, which he utilized in overtime in Snow Canyon's game against Vegas Elite National. The bouncy 2027 got up and threw it down with authority, getting fans out of their seats. Thompson is also a prospect who will chase down boards, and he is capable of guarding multiple positions. Look for him to continue to make waves on the AAU circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2700924"],"_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-69d41ecfa8fc1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Duke Suggs is an Arizona prospect that I hadn't seen before, but he truly brings a lot to the table, especially with his size and frame. On offense, he attacks the basket with speed and can get to the cup in just a stride or two. His wingspan also helps him play above the rim, and he had a nice two-handed flush after getting through the lane in one of his games. On defense, Suggs is tough to get around, and his athleticism helps him cover ground in the blink of an eye.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1945840"],"_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-69d452ff8733f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1945840' first='Ien' last='Kirkland'] had a few nice flashes at the Bigfoot Hoops Easter Showdown. He runs the floor like a guard despite his stature and used his hops to come up with a strong block against Snow Canyon. He also gets out in transition and helps out in the rebounding department. With more production, his name could start to pick up some steam.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
