Peach Jam: Top Big Men

<p>Who were the best big men that we saw at Nike Peach Jam?  We dive into that right here!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>N’Faly Dante (MoKan 17U)</strong></p> <p>Dante was the most dominant big man at Peach Jam by far.  He made a huge impact on both ends of the floor.  Offensively he has improved so much with his low post moves.  Caught passes in traffic.  He is the best lob dunker nationally.  If you throw it anywhere near the hoop he will go and get it.  Elite rebounder that is aggressive going after boards.  The best shot blocker in the country he scares opponents from even thinking about putting up shots in the paint.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Greg Brown (Texas Titans 17U)</strong></p> <p>Brown is the new age four man.  Super athletic player who can guard multiple positions, switch in ball screens, and play above the rim on both ends.  Did exactly that at Peach Jam throwing down some of the most vicious dunks of the week.  Explosive forward that can put the ball on the deck and is more than comfortable playing on the perimeter.  His quickness and pop around the hoop is unmatched in the high school game!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Jalen Duren (Team Final 16U)</strong></p> <p>Broad shouldered and physical 2022 center is one of the best young big men in the country.  Garners deep post position and finishes with power around the hoop.  Good screener and works well in pick/roll situations.  Can stretch his range out to mid-range.  Defensively he is a great area rebounder and proved to be a prime time defender.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Isaiah Todd (Nightrydas 17U)</strong></p> <p>Todd is one of the more versatile bigs in the 2020 class.  He can play inside and outside.  Handles well in the open floor for a post as well as running the floor.  Can hit threes on occasion.  When working in the post he sealed well and made sound post moves for scores.  When his motor is running he is one of the best in the country.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Hunter Dickinson (Team Takeover 17U)</strong></p> <p>Dickinson is an old school post at 7’2”.  The five man plays so physical on the block.  Consistently gets deep post position on the catch.  Bullies his opponents inside with his size and mass.  Soft touch around the hoop being able to finish with either hand.  Excellent passer for a center.  Shot blocking presence that swatted a ton of shots.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Chris Moore (Woodz Elite 17U)</strong></p> <p>Moore had an outstanding game when we caught Woodz play.  He was a beast on the glass recording an insane 19 rebounds against Meanstreets while shooting 7-11 from the field for 15 points.  This kid plays so hard and brings so much energy on the interior!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Mark Williams (Boo Williams 17U)</strong></p> <p>This was my first look at the seven footer from Virginia.  I could not have been more impressed.  Williams is a long armed big man with broad shoulders.  He is a brick wall on the back end as a rim protector and post defender.  Offensively he displayed mobility and consistently finished through contact.  Super active on the offensive glass.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
