The 2026 rankings are out.   We dive into the positional rankings. We move over to the power forwards and centers for the rising sophomore class.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the top-8 PF/C's in the 2026 class:</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='1612468' first='Cameron' last='Williams'] St. Mary's (Pictured)   The top taller forward is Williams. He is extremely graceful and he fluidly moves around the court like a wing. He hasn't stopped growing since last year and he may not be done. He has a huge wingspan and reach to make it difficult to score on in the post and springs up quickly to rebound or block shots. He can shoot it from mid to the three or flush it down.   [player_tooltip player_id='1490241' first='Elijah' last='Summers-Livingston'] Basha   A strong framed power forward is all muscle and grit. He is another athlete that can hang on the rim to dunk, rebound and alter or block shots. He will rim run, score on put backs and plays with energy to go along with his power.   [player_tooltip player_id='1482163' first='Cristian' last='Simmons'] Sunnyslope   A sturdy framed power forward who is highly skilled. He can easily shoot it to the three point line and in plus bangs with bigger players. He uses his length, bulk and toughness to rebound and block shots. He shows good post footwork as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='1591733' first='Nico' last='Wright'] Ben Franklin   A long power forward with a 7-foot plus wingspan. He explodes up like a pogo-stick to block or alter shots in a blink of an eye. He rebounds at a high level and grabs the ball at its highest point. He will throw it down high above the rim and is working on his face-up game.   [player_tooltip player_id='1494765' first='Tarrell' last='Green Jr'] Highland Prep   A high-flying power forward plays with a motor. He rebounds the ball in and out of his area and is very light on his feet. He runs like a guard and can throw his body around like a center. He is their glue guy cashing in on many of the hustle and 50/50 plays.   [player_tooltip player_id='1938807' first='Makenzie' last='Lazor'] Casteel   A face-up power forward is very skilled. He has a smooth three point stroke off the catch and runs well. He gets off the ground quickly and shows advanced timing to block shots and rebounds well in his area. he has a little hook shot to utilize and put backs to score.   [player_tooltip player_id='1950100' first='London' last='Haskell'] Mesa   Another power forward is a very good shot blocker. He moves well from end to end and has a plus wingspan. He leaps and attacks the ball to block it and will corral boards. He scores the ball around the rim and plays actively on both ends.   [player_tooltip player_id='1917869' first='Ethan' last='Sobik'] Notre Dame Prep   The lone true center on the list has the size and big lineage in his family. He is most likely not done growing and plays like an old school center. He likes banging inside and will score on put backs and hook shots.
