I like to take a look at my annual “Top-5’s”.
Every player has their 1 skill they usually excel at.
It’s just a fun way to take a look at players’ elite skills in different categories.
We move over to the 6 players who are top-tier shot blockers. These are the players who will alter or block almost everything that comes near them.
Here are my Top-5:
1. Damarion Pouncil Damarion Pouncil 6'7" | PF South Mountain | 2022 CA-S (South Mountain)
-A quick-twitched athlete with immense length and has impeccable timing to block shots.
2. Adrame Diongue Adrame Diongue 6'11" | C AZ Compass Prep | 2022 State #202 Nation AZ (Bella Vista Prep)
-Another athletic forward with length and great timing. He seems to explode off the ground.
3. Youssouf Singare (Bella Vista Prep)
-The longest and tallest player in the state from the class moves well and blocks shots.
4. Jeremiah Cherry Jeremiah Cherry 6'9" | C St. Mary's | 2022 State AZ (St. Mary’s)
-A thick and strong post had some impressive games blocking shots with his sneaky athleticism.
5. Nathaniel Knight Nathaniel Knight 6'6" | SF AZ Compass Prep | 2022 State AZ (AZ Compass Prep HS)
-A longer post has a bright future. He is just scratching the surface of how good he can be and he blocks shots at a good rate.
