Which 6A Frontcourt Players Are On The Rise

After gaining valuable varsity experience and showing flashes of high level potential, a group of 6A rising frontcourt players seem ready to take the next step. Whether it's elite size, growing offensive versatility, physical play, or newfound confidence, these prospects have positioned themselves for breakout seasons. From established contributors to under the radar talents, expect these names to make significant impacts and elevate their stock throughout the upcoming year.    Reinert flew under the radar at Arapahoe last season, but that likely won't be the case much longer. He is the type of player every coach values because of the impact he makes in so many areas of the game. Whether it's doing the dirty work, shifting momentum with hustle plays, or knocking down timely shots, Reinert consistently finds ways to contribute. He shot an impressive 49 percent from the field and has the versatility and toughness to put together double doubles on any given night. With his motor, physicality and a growing skill set, Reinert appears poised for a breakout season and could become one of the more valuable players in the area     McCord has given plenty of flashes of his potential during showcases and club competition, and we began to see that translate to the high school level last season at Chatfield. He is an athletic player who consistently plays bigger than his 6'5” size thanks to his toughness, instincts and effort. McCord excels around the basket, using excellent footwork and positioning to score efficiently in the post. He also rebounds at a high level by relying on strong fundamentals, boxing out effectively and using sound technique. As his confidence and opportunities continue to grow, McCord has the tools to emerge as a major contributor and one of the more intriguing frontcourt players to watch this upcoming season     Mindenhall got his first taste of varsity basketball last season at Lakewood and showed that he has the potential to become a key contributor moving forward. He held his own against older competition and displayed flashes of the skill set that makes him an intriguing prospect. Mindenhall was an efficient scorer and had several double digit performances where he showcased a polished mid range game and a strong understanding of how to use screens to get to his spots. His ability to play within the flow of the offense stands out, and as his three point shot continues to develop, he has the potential to become an even more dangerous and complete offensive weapon in the coming seasons     Pisculich is developing into the type of player coaches love to build around and has continued to build on the success he had last season at Poudre. He put together an impressive stretch of 11 consecutive games scoring in double figures, showcasing his ability to produce consistently. After showing those flashes during the high school season, he has taken another step forward this summer and looks more confident and polished in every aspect of his game. Pisculich looks increasingly comfortable with the ball in his hands and carries the confidence of a player who believes he can score from anywhere on the floor. Defensively he has also made noticeable strides, using his physicality and strength to make life difficult for opponents and impact the game on both ends of the court     Brooks is one of the more intriguing prospects in the state because players with his size and potential simply do not come around often. Standing at 7'0” he presents matchup problems every time he steps on the floor. Last season at Legend he gained valuable experience and showed significant growth, particularly during the second half of the season when his confidence and production began to take off. Brooks is an effective scorer around the basket, thriving in the post and from the dunker spot, where he uses his size and frame exceptionally well to seal and shield defenders. As his game continues to develop, the expectations surrounding him are understandably high, and he has all the tools to become a consistent nightly double double threat
