Continue ReadingWe have officially hit the midway point in the season and I recently released a mid-season superlatives article. However, I thought we should go more in depth and recognize some more players that have had great seasons so far. Here are the Top Forwards in 6A…so far.
Jalen Graham (Mountain Pointe 2019)
The Arizona State commit has continued to have a great season. He is currently averaging an impressive 16 points per game, while also averaging 9.4 rebounds per game. While Mountain Pointe hasn’t played as well as I thought they would/hoped they would, I would never count a team with this kid out. He is very skilled around the basket and is a rebounding machine.
Dylan Anderson (Perry 2022)
Anderson would be impressive enough just at his height, standing at 6’10. However, he is ridiculously skilled. He has a Kristaps Porzingis game to him, being lethal from the mid-range and deep ball. He will be very interesting to watch as he continues his high school career, it is very easy to forget that this kid is only a freshman.
Anthony Garza (Shadow Ridge 2020)
Garza has really improved since the summer, which is saying a lot since he had a great summer with Powerhouse 16U Ortega team. Garza stands at 6’7 and is very slim, I wondered if he would be able to score on other bigs near his size. So far, so good, as he averages 10 points and 7 boards per game.
DeAndre Henry (Mountain Pointe 2020)
Henry is part of a great front court pairing with him and Graham. While Graham is having an impressive season, so is Henry. He is averaging 12 points per game and nearly 10 boards per game as well. Henry should drastically see a spike in his stats next season as he becomes a senior and Graham will be graduating.
Keaton Rodgers (Sandra Day O’Connor 2019)
Keaton Rodgers is a very hard man to stop from scoring. He has drastically improved his jumper and is very strong and quick, making it very difficult to stop him from getting to the basket. If he gets hot from deep, it is nearly impossible to stop him from scoring. Rodgers has enjoyed a great season so far and looks to keep it going in the second half of the season.
