Expert Analysis
Will Armishaw | Prep Hoops Scout
Poage, a forward out of Arlington Catholic High School in Massachusetts, makes his first appearance in the rankings at #14 overall. Poage is an incredibly long, 6’6″ forward that already shows some inside-out ability as a scorer. While he has a lean frame, he should be able to add strength over time, which will only raise his ceiling as a prospect. Right now, he’s capable of making shots from behind the arc in catch and shoot situations, shows the ability to make plays out of DHO and ball screen actions, and does a nice job of using his length to his advantage as a finisher around the rim. He’s mobile enough to defend on the perimeter and does a nice job of walling up in the paint without fouling. His combination of positional size, length, and skill makes him a really intriguing and high-level, long-term prospect to watch.
