Prep Hoops Live: Parham’s Top Frontcourt Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The talent was on full display at the PH Live event this past weekend, with some of the region's top independent and circuit teams going battle. While guard play always flashes, it was the versatile, high-upside forwards and big men who anchored their teams and captured the attention of scouts.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From floor-stretching shooters to physical rim-protectors, here are the top forward prospects who put together standout performances in Plainfield.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2389793' first='Dovydas' last='Zuperka'] (6'8" PF / [program_tooltip program_id='2076459' first='Breakaway' last=''] 2027)</strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watching Zuperka for a third consecutive week only solidifies his status as a premier inside-out threat in the 2027 class. Standing at 6'8" with a wiry, long-armed frame, he possesses an elite blend of length and motor. Defensively, he quick-leaps to high-point rebounds and anchors the paint. Offensively, he showcased a deep bag: soft touch on hooks around the rim, explosive finishing on dunks, and elite pick-and-pop utility. He rained down catching-and-shooting threes one after another and ran the floor with heavy intent for easy transition buckets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2403274' first='Timothy' last='Sirotyuk'] (6'7" PF / GPA 2027)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>Sirotyuk passes the eye test immediately with his excellent build, broad shoulders, and natural functional strength. He used that frame to anchor the glass, rebounding at a high level on both ends of the floor. What stands out most for a player his size is his mobility; he runs the floor hard in transition and maintains a high motor. Sirotyuk rarely took a play off, providing consistent physicality and effort.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br><strong>Dawson Paulus (6'6" PF / 937 Hoop Dreams 2027)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>Paulus is a well-built 6'6" post prospect who combines interior muscle with modern perimeter skills. He loves to plant himself around the basket, using his frame to carve out space and vacuum up a ton of rebounds. However, he is far from just a bruiser—Paulus possesses remarkably nimble footwork in the paint and displayed the ability to stretch the defense out to the perimeter with his shooting stroke.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2467723' first='Mohammad' last='Farhan'] (6'6" PF / [program_tooltip program_id='2075386' first='Chicago' last='Lockdown'] 2027)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>Farhan is a consistently productive four-man who blends a broad-shouldered frame with high-level athleticism. He plays well above the rim, altering the game with emphatic lob dunks, powerful rim runs, and authoritative rebounds. Beyond his athletic pop, Farhan is a highly functional player who serves as a solid interior defender and a skilled passer out of the post or on the short roll.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2829810' first='Miles' last='Burnison'] (6'4 PF / [program_tooltip program_id='2075386' first='Chicago' last='Lockdown'] 2027)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>Burnison put together a massive performance on Sunday, showing off a noticeably stronger frame that allows him to absorb contact and play with enhanced physicality. He was incredibly efficient scoring around the basket, catching the defense sleeping with quick takes along the baseline and finishing cleanly out of the dunker spot. His evolution into a physical interior presence makes him a tough cover.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br><strong>Camden Scroggins (6'5" SF/PF / [program_tooltip program_id='2075481' first='Fundamental' last='U'] 2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>The younger Scroggins brings a highly skilled, incredibly familiar blueprint to the floor, mirroring the versatile skill set of his older brother. Possessing a long, wiry frame, he features a feathery shooting stroke that is lethal from the corners and the mid-range. He proved he is far more than just a spot-up threat, consistently attacking hard closeouts off the bounce to get to the rim. A quality young athlete who is firmly on the radar to track.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2951200' first='Timmy' last='Van Gorp'] (6'5" PF / Midwest Bobcats 2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>Van Gorp is a highly versatile 6'5" forward who projects well as a modern four-man. He did an excellent job stretching the floor, knocking down multiple triples in the game evaluated. On top of his perimeter spacing, Van Gorp boasts a lightning-quick second jump, which he utilized to crash the offensive glass for multiple second-chance putbacks. His lateral mobility and length also provide immense versatility on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
