2027 Forwards Outside the Top 100 Who Could Make A Jump

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article I feature 5 more forwards outside the top 100 who could be stock risers in a matter of time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3558078"],"_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-6a8921166eeb4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Moapa Valley PF caught my attention a couple of times last season with his size and skill. He has the frame that college coaches often look for. And he knows how to leverage it to get to his spots on offense. He is also likely to be even more assertive as a senior, which could mean that his production might skyrocket. Reese also puts his hard hat on when playing defense. And he seems to alter shots fairly easily thanks to good positioning and his wingspan. Overall, I like his upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3074673"],"_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-6a8921166efa4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3074673' first='Marcese' last='Nichols'] can do a little bit of everything and I like how he uses his length. He can connect on shots from 3 point land, or slash to the hoop to get a bucket. He also leverages his long arms to mark his man on defense, and he can assist his teammates if they get beat. Look for him to possibly be a regular contributor for the Longhorns. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3558162"],"_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-6a8921166ef0e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3558162' first='Xander' last='Hedin'] stands out right away since he's 6'8. Although he didn't run with Palo's varsity team a ton last year, he may be in line for added duties as a senior. On defense, he can protect the rim, collect boards, and clog up the paint. On offense, he is a guy that you do not want to leave wide open under the basket. All in all, the tools are there make an impact and help the Panthers win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3558142"],"_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-6a8921166ef5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3558142' first='Sammy' last='Ernest'] is another forward on this list who utilizes his stature to be a playmaker. He is often one of taller guys on the court, and he doesn't have to jump very much to high point rebounds. He'll also get physical on defense if he needs to, and he holds his ground well. On the other end of the court, he can bucket when guards feee him the ball on the block, or if they drive and drop it off. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3558145"],"_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-6a8921166efea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3558145' first='Seamus' last='Lemon'] is a team player who runs the floor well and with a purpose. He can leak out and make himself in transition. Or snag an offensive rebound and go right back up with it. He also stays laser focused on defense, and never gives his matchup much breathing room. Many squads could use a guy like him, as he truly doesn't mind doing the dirty work. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
