With these, we want to highlight 3 players who are similar in class and position. Get some time to dive into some quick thoughts, stat breakdowns, and film. Today, we are looking at 2022 Power Forwards in D.J. Allen D.J. Allen 6'7" | PF Leo | 2022 State IN , Hunter Crew Hunter Crew 6'5" | PF Lebanon | 2022 IN , and Jonathan Ricketts Jonathan Ricketts 6'5" | PF North Posey | 2022 State IN .
D.J. Allen
D.J.
Allen
6'7" | PF
Leo | 2022
State
IN
– 6’6 PF 2022 – Leo (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Allen is a tall power forward that can play all over the floor. He started off his high school career on the raw side but this past season he showed a more complete version of his game. He is pretty tough down low and has a nice touch around the rim. He’s got a nice right-handed turnaround jumper and is a solid shooter off the catch. The next step in his game would be to probably add some speed and quickness. Allen has a huge upside to him. By his senior year, he has a chance to be a dominate big man.
Hunter Crew
Hunter
Crew
6'5" | PF
Lebanon | 2022
IN
– 6’5 PF 2022 – Lebanon (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Crew is an undersized power forward with a ton of strength and aggressiveness. Has a pretty strong frame and does pretty well on the defensive end as he is able to guard multiple spots. Really can mix it up with the ability to play inside and on the wing. His rebounding skills are solid and he is real tough when trying to grab the ball. Pretty mobile and has some decent quickness to him. Overall, Crew is just a tough player that can really stretch the offense.
Jonathan Ricketts
Jonathan
Ricketts
6'5" | PF
North Posey | 2022
State
IN
– 6’5 PF 2022 – North Posey (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Ricketts is a tall power forward that is pretty athletic. He is so physically strong that he can just dominate on the boards. He has got some ability to move and create around the rim but can also step out a bit. Has a ton of power and explosiveness to his game. He is just so tough to stop and beat at times. Ricketts has all the potential right now to be one of the best big men in the 2022 class. Expect him to have a breakout season in his junior year. Keep an eye on this prospect.
