Continue ReadingThe change in the recruiting cycle is going to be a big change for everyone. Right as we thought we were going to be getting out on the road, we get shut down. So, in order to spend as much effort as we can in getting players seen, we are going to do what we call, 3-Packs.
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 Caedmon Bontrager Caedmon Bontrager 6'8" | PF Leo | 2022 State IN , Jackson Dawson Jackson Dawson 6'6" | PF Warsaw | 2022 IN , and Landen Babusiak Landen Babusiak 6'11" | C Bosco Institute/Indiana Connections Academy | 2022 State IN .
Caedmon Bontrager
Caedmon
Bontrager
6'8" | PF
Leo | 2022
State
IN
– 6’7 PF 2022 – Lakewood Park (IN)
Stats: 20.7 ppg, 9.1 rpg, 2.8 bpg
Thoughts: Bontrager is a stretch power forward with lots of athletic ability. Runs the floor pretty well and is overall pretty solid all-around on offense. On defense, he has great shot blocking ability because of his size and length. He sneakily good off the catch-and-three. Quick feet and can play faced up or as a straight post up. Bontrager is a prospect to watch for in the 2022 class. Lot of potential here.
Jackson Dawson
Jackson
Dawson
6'6" | PF
Warsaw | 2022
IN
– 6’5 PF/SF 2022 – Warsaw (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Dawson is a tall and long forward. Depending on the offensive lineup, he can play either the 3 or the 4. Does a good job in balancing his offensive play between the post and 3-point line. He’s really mobile, agile and skilled with the ball. Has a real aggressive mindset on both ends of the court. Can guard any position other than the 5 as of right now. Has a chance to grow some more. Needs to add some strength as well. Kind of a raw prospect right now but is one that could be really good in the next couple years.
Landen Babusiak
Landen
Babusiak
6'11" | C
Bosco Institute/Indiana Connections Academy | 2022
State
IN
– 6’7 PF 2022 – Hanover Central (IN)
Stats: 11.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 2.6 bpg
Thoughts: Babusiak is a big power forward with lots of talent. Plays at a high level on both ends of the court and is the type of player that has lots of skill. For sure one of the best shot blockers in his class and possibly in the state. Extremely mobile prospect that can not only take care of the post scoring but has nice jumper.This is one of the best players in the 2022 class. With his talent and skill-set, the sky is the limit for this power forward. Has a chance to be a special player.
