Fullcourt Press All-West Camp: Top Forwards/Centers (Part II)

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Dinos Trigonis’ led All-West camp featured more than 100 players from various states across the Western U.S. The two-day event held at Cerritos College drew a strong mix of some of the best guards, wings and big men from the region.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Best Forwards/Centers (Part II)</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>JC Anthony</strong>, 2020, Paraclete</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Anthony was one of the more unknown bigs to make a mark at the event. The rising senior stands at a legitimate 6-feet-11 and has soft hands and fundamental footwork that are instrumental in the success of a young big man. Anthony showed some face-up shooting ability to 15-feet, but needs to continue to work on his frame to maximize his potential.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Daniel Rouzan</strong>, 2021, Eisenhower</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Rouzan made the most out of his paint touches by finishing them off at a high rate. The 6-foot-7 forward made tough catches in tight spots and finished them off with either hand. It was good to see a big man who stayed true to his strengths and patrol the paint rather than trying to step out on the perimeter and do something outside of his comfort zone.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Zach Clemence</strong>, 2021, Sunrise Christian (KS)</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">What stood out most about Clemence was his ability to spread the floor to the 3-point line at 6-feet-10. The rising junior connected on multiple pick-and-pop triples with fluid shooting mechanics and a smooth follow through. Clemence is another guy who could make a big impact at the Division I level if he continues to get stronger and diversify his game with some back-to-the-basket feel.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Amir “Duke” Gipson</strong>, 2022, Dorsey</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Gipson is an intriguing long term center prospect because of the unteachable things he possesses at a young age. The 6-foot-8 rising sophomore has soft hands and touch around the basket and also displayed a high passing IQ out of both the low and high post areas of the floor.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Andre Harris</strong>, 2020, Hillcrest (AZ)</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Harris was one of the better passing big men at the event. The wide-bodied 6-foot-6 prospect has a knack for finding slashers off the wing, out of the low and high post or as a point-forward role due to his ball skills and vision. Harris was a load to handle when getting downhill and using his strong frame and good footwork to overpower smaller defenders.</span></p>
