Top Scoring Forwards Through 2 weeks

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We will take a look at top scorers thus far in the season for forwards. These kids are able to get it done on both ends of the court but also have the highest scoring output for forwards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284530' first='Ty' last='Adam'] Severance Silver Knights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>30.0 points through 2 games</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284530' first='Ty' last='Adam'] is a big guy that runs the court well at his size. At times he uses his speed and pushes the ball on the break. He battles in the paint trying to move defenders with his body. Adam is a post playmaker on the offensive side of the ball with an array of moves. He is an athletic big and uses his explosiveness to finish in the paint with dunks as well as an occasional up and under. Adam is not afraid to step out and hit the three ball as well, shooting 43% and averaging 30 thus far in the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578032' first='Kyle' last='Blauch'] Boulder Panthers</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>26.3 points through 3 games</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578032' first='Kyle' last='Blauch'] continues to dominate on the boards as well as in the scoring column. He is affective scoring in the post and has a nice mid-range that he constantly knocks down. Blauch reminds me of Clippers Chris Paul, how deadly he is knocking down his shots right above the free throw line. He still isn't shooting many threes, making 1 of his 2 attempts that he has taken. He is still scoring efficiently, shooting 55% from the field averaging 26.3 points. Still needs to work on extending his range but is a great inside to midrange scorer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tanner Gerk</strong> Caliche Buffaloes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>26.0 through 2 games</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tanner Gerk</strong> is shooting it well from behind the arc with a nice 55% through this first week of the season. Once he gets one to go he can catch fire and start knocking down shots with no hesitation. On defense he is also making an impact accounting for 3 steals a game playing the passing lanes well. He is physical in the paint on both side and uses his athleticism to get around defenders, out jumping them for the rebound. Is also good at getting out on the break and capitalizes when the feed him in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578017' first='Jerek' last='Funkhouser'] Niwot Cougars</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>25.3 through 3 games</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578017' first='Jerek' last='Funkhouser'] offense is very smooth, he is currently shooting the ball better in all categories than he was last year. Would like to see him hit his threes more consistently but he is getting good looks. Funkhouser is able to knock balls out and get turnovers on defense and is currently averaging 2 steals. He got out to a great start the first two games and in the third game is was a well-rounded attack. Funkhouser will continue to be the Cougars main option when attacking in half court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578040' first='Luke' last='Wagstaff'] Fort Collins Lambkins</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>25.0 through 3 games</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578040' first='Luke' last='Wagstaff'] continues to convert at a high rate shooting at 63%. He is averaging a double-double and will look to continue to build on these performances. He was not able to hit double digits against Windsor but was the leading scorer and rebounder in the game. He continues to make his presence felt and will be a key factor on both ends of the court for the Lambkins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
