<p>Versatility is becoming more important as the game of basketball continues to evolve. Here is a rundown of some of the most versatile forwards in the local 2023 class. </p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="962810" first="Gibraltar" last="Coleman"] | Flint Hill (VA)</h5> <p>Coleman has a diverse offensive arsenal that he utilizes to score inside and out. He can get buckets with his back to the basket but has more recently expanded his face-up game. Coleman is a constant threat from three and mid-range as a result. </p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="1403919" first="Buom" last="Jock"] | Episcopal (VA)</h5> <p>Jock was Episcopal's best rebounder in the IAC Championship. At around 6-foot-6, he attacks the ball off the glass at its highest point. Jock is also an assertive scorer from all three levels who gets good elevation on his jumper.</p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="1115503" first="Greg" last="Jones"] | Hayfield (VA)</h5> <p>Jones did a bit of everything throughout Hayfield's historic season. He is a point forward who gets guys open shots at a high frequency.</p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="1367423" first="Andre" last="Skelin"] | St. Mary’s Ryken (MD)</h5> <p>Skelin became a reliable inside-out scoring option for the Knights in his debut campaign. Standing around 6-foot-7 with a robust frame, he is equipped to score with his back to the basket and spot-up from behind the arc. </p> <h5><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/kha-cao-ra-james/">Kha Cao Rā James</a> | Wilson (DC)</h5> <p>James came into his own down the stretch for the Tigers. He thrived as a defensive menace, but was also available for dump-offs and showcased that he can catch and finish. </p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="1298728" first="Brian" last="Weiser"] | Washington-Liberty (VA)</h5> <p>Weiser guarded multiple positions for his team this season. He can pressure the ball in the backcourt or protect the lane. </p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="957028" first="Bryson" last="Wilson"] | St. Stephens & St. Agnes (VA)</h5> <p>Wilson is known for his athleticism but is an underrated passer. He can play a number of different positions and has a knack for hitting the open man. </p>
