The Platform Live Period: 2022 Forwards to Watch KS/MO

<p>The Platform event in Birmingham Alabama is absolutely loaded with teams and talent from across the country, represented by a great group of teams that represent the Prep Hoops Circuit. We are going to complete a series of preview coverage of the different position groups that will be represented down in Alabama from Missouri and Kansas.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="984500" first="Jevon" last="Porter"], 6’11, Tolton Catholic, Michael Porter Junior Elite (pictured): A big time front court prospect who comes from a a great family lineage of hoopers. Has tremendous hands, finishing ability, athleticism is off the charts, and has a tremendous motor. A double double machine each time he steps on the floor. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Omar Henry, 6’7, Link Year, Michael Porter JR Elite (Wing/Forward Hybrid): Massively strong frame and athletic monster especially in transition. Can lead the break or run the wings and finish with authority in a variety of ways. Can play and guard a variety of positions on the basketball floor. Finishes with either hand and through on contact on drives.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Connor Owens, 6’6, Springfield Kickapoo, DC Kings Missouri: Great explosion off the floor with hands to catch and finish efficiently in post ups and dump downs. Does a little bit of everything on the basketball court, and is a good anchor on defensive.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="889456" first="Antwaun" last="Massey"], 6’8, Minnesota Prep, KC Spurs Black: An electric forward prospect who’s game continues to refine and come full circle. Knocking down open jumpers at a higher clip and tightening up the handles over the spring and summer to pair with his off the charts explosiveness and athleticism will make him a must watch this weekend.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="984943" first="Kortez" last="Stevenson"], 6’7, Center, KC Spurs Black: Also known for his football prowess, Stevenson is a big bodied, strong, and mobile forward prospect that is a bruiser inside and draws a ton of contact while finishing inside. Capable of rebounding and pushing to lead a break as well, but in the post up game he can play with his back to the basket, or off a quick rip off a face up.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1076411" first="Fred" last="Criqui"], 6’7, St Mary’s High School, SSA Elite 2022 Black: Solid and improving forward/center who has a smooth 15 foot jumper out of the high post or off the baseline. Criqui has a nice jump hook and counter move as well in the post up game. Improving as a rim runner and coring off dives to the basket. Had a big end to the spring and June sessions.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
