1. Jalen Graham (Mountain Pointe 2019)
Jalen Graham is probably the best forward in 6A, maybe in the state. He is a tenacious rebounder and is a lot more athletic and mobile than people think. His stat line was very impressive this season: 15.2 points per game,
2. Kyle Patterson (Perry 2019)
Kyle Patterson played big time in the state playoffs. He used his big frame and strength to absolutely bully his defenders. He put up a pretty solid state line as well, averaging 14.6 points per game, 8.2 rebounds per game, 2.1 assists per game, and 1.4 steals per game.
3. Alec Bryan (Chaparral 2019)
Bryan was one of the cornerstones of Chaparral’s success this season. He provided a scoring option at the PF spot and is actually pretty athletic/mobile. He finished the season averaging 13.7 points per game, 2.2 assists per game, 5.5 rebounds per game, 1.1 steals per game, and 1 block per game.
4. Tosh Baker (Pinnacle 2019)
Tosh Baker may not have had the outstanding stat line as the other forwards on this list but I felt that his impact was too great to leave off. Baker was a huge part of Pinnacle’s back to back state championship. He provided a big body to gather rebounds and pack the paint and had some solid post moves that I felt surprised many.
5. Jordan Josephs (Chaparral 2020)
Jordan Josephs was another piece on the absolutely stacked Chaparral team. He brought a lot of versatility from the wing position and filled up the stat sheet while he did it. Josephs went on to average 12.6 points per game, 1.7 assists per game, 8.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals per game, and 1 block per game.
