The 6-9 power forward has a modern game as he increased his ability to shoot from beyond the arc at a consistent rate last season for The Rock. Jones is also great when he is posting up and finishing around the rim as his smooth touch continues to take notice. On the defensive side, Jones can be a perennial shot blocker and rim protector as he uses his length averaging nearly 9 rebounds per game. Jones holds offers from Florida, Georgia Tech, Illinois, LSU, Missouri and several others.
At 6-8, Borio has one of the quickest releases of a shot you may find with someone at that size and frame. He is lethal when it comes to catch-and-shoot as he has increased his confidence to shoot from beyond the arc. Borio plays on the U17 Brazilian National Team and put up some outstanding numbers averaging 6.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game at the FIBA U17 World Championships.
The 6-8 rising senior power forward has a smooth inside-out game where he can shoot from beyond the arc at a consistent rate. He is also a hard worker in the gym whether it’s practice or in the game. Sullivan plays with a high basketball IQ and can finish around the rim against stronger defenders. He is poised to have a strong senior season after his junior year was cut short due to a wrist injury.
Highlights
The 6-9 power forward is an efficient finisher around the rim on the offensive end, as well as a tenacious rim protector and defender on the other side. Lopez uses his strength and length to an advantage where he limits the opposition from getting second chance scoring opportunities. Lopez currently holds an offer from Southern Miss and was a huge part of Sagemont’s run to the Class 2A Championship Game.
Highlights
The 6-7 forward is coming off an outstanding weekend at the Florida Rebels Invitational where his length on the defensive end was the focal point. His ability to block shots and finishing around the rim has also taken a step forward. His ball-handling skills can make him a guard or even a combo forward at times. Puodziukaitis averaged 13.3 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this past season for Palm Beach Central.
