Spring Review: Productive 2025 Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This variety of forwards have been particularly dependable throughout the past few months, primarily from recent club events. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2394236"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6650c783cbf42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A multi-positional defender who matches up well 2 through 4, Graham has shown plenty of intrigue and value through this spring season. Possessing a fairly quick jump off of two feet, they have been a consistent threat to secure rebounds from either end. Equally valuable blocking or heavily contesting shot attempts from the help side, the forward has been vital to this group's rim protection. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1369820"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6650c9c294e1b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sparks has been about as efficient as anybody could ask through the start of the spring, contributing a large volume of attempts around the basket. Regardless of the immediate contest, the forward is dependable, leveraging his size and strength. Defensively, he brings immense value for Swoosh, where he is a highly productive rebounder for them on either end. This spring season and even going back to Legend, Sparks has proven himself as a high motor shot blocker, among only two 2025s in 6A averaging above 2 blocks per game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1479892"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6650c9c294e76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miller has been one of the most productive shot blockers at the 4A level alongside 21-6 Colorado Academy. Among four 2025s at the 4A level with 2 or more blocks per game, the forward has carved out a necessary role for that group. Effective rotating over on help side or switching on more mobile guards, Miller is one of the more intriguing defensive forwards in this class. With Bureau, he will carve out another necessary role as the dirty work guy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2056676"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6650c9c294ecc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nkiadiambu provides Fort Lupton with important rim protection and mobility finishing transition shot attempts. Possessing a lanky frame, the forward is particularly mobile defending opponents on the perimeter and around the rim. Following defensive rebounds, he does a great job getting onto the break early, often rewarded by Fort Lupton's dynamic playmakers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1903639"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6650c9c294f1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Following the departure of multiple highly productive athletes from Lutheran, Borchert will get his best opportunity yet to showcase his skillset. Right around 6'7, his flashes throughout the club season as an active rim protector have drawn notice. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1479302"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6650c9c294f6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bot has continued to reaffirm his defensive value through the spring, following an Elite 8 run in the 4A playoffs with Green Valley Ranch. Similar to a few of the aforementioned names, Bot is a lanky yet mobile defensive prospect who can instigate multiple positions from anywhere. He has shown flashes of straight line drives following a rip through, getting downhill quickly when an open lane presents itself. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2446271"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6650c9c294fbf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most productive rebounders in the state, Trujillo has made a name for himself throughout this past high school season with Pueblo West. Certainly up around 6'7 while possessing a strong frame, the Pueblo region has had trouble containing the forward on the glass going both ways. Quick to get up putback layups, he is assertive with either hand. Defensively, he does what he can, bringing in active hands at the point of attack. His height advantage makes contests a handful for opposing guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
