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 Charlie Williams Charlie Williams 6'10" | PF Carmel | 2022 State #220 Nation IN , Jeffrey Simmons Jeffrey Simmons 6'7" | PF Fishers | 2022 State IN , and Maxwell Sullivan Maxwell Sullivan 6'6" | PF Whiteland | 2022 State IN .
Charlie Williams
Charlie
Williams
6'10" | PF
Carmel | 2022
State
#220
Nation
IN
– 6’7 PF 2022 – Carmel (IN)
Stats: 8.9 ppg, 4.0 rpg
Thoughts: Charlie is a long, tall forward who is very versatile in the paint. Runs the floor really well for his size and has a soft touch to his game. Pretty solid mid-range jumper and even has shown that he can shoot it behind the arc from time-to-time. One of the more underrated parts of Williams’ game is his ability to beat everybody down the floor in transition. On defense, his long body and great timing make it tough for the opposing offense to score down low because he is an excellent blocker. Overall a pretty smart big man that just needs to add strength to his skill-set. Williams should be really good by his senior year.
Jeffrey Simmons

Simmons

Fishers | 2022
State
IN
– 6’7 PF 2022 – Fishers (IN)
Stats: 16.7 ppg, 6.7 rpg
Thoughts: Simmons is a big forward who can really do a number of things at a high-level and plays with a ton energy and toughness. Pretty solid ball handling skills and cuts to the rim very well. Can step out for 15fter or even a 3 but looks to much rather do his work in the post area. Simmons is just so overpowering and athletic that it makes him tough to stop once the tip-off takes takes place. Simmons is the type of player that is a good teammate and is going to get better as long as he can. If you are wanting a hard worker that is not going to take plays off, this is your guy.
Maxwell Sullivan
Maxwell
Sullivan
6'6" | PF
Whiteland | 2022
State
IN
– 6’6 PF 2022 – Whiteland (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Sullivan can make a case as one of, if not, the best shot blockers in the 2022 class. His is a big forward that can mix up his offense pretty well. Can not only post up but can step put and hit a jumper as well. Has a good amount of strength and athletic ability already. Needs to work on composing himself on offense a bit more and maybe staying a little more balanced on his shots. Sullivan is a true a inside-out power forward and it will be interesting to see how much better he is by the end of his junior season. Keep an eye on Sullivan because he has the potential to be very good.
