2022 Rankings: Top Defenders (Summer Edition), Part II

<p>There's a ton of prospects who really get after it on the defensive end in the <a href="https://prephoops.com/north-carolina/rankings/2022-rankings/">2022 class</a>. Here's a look at Part II of the top defenders in the class.</p> <p><strong>No. 63 [player_tooltip player_id="945043" first="Isaiah" last="Williams"] - 6'5 Wing/Forward - Porter Ridge</strong></p> <p>Williams is a budding prospect who can guard multiple positions on the floor. He's one to chase down blocks and battle on the boards for rebounds on both ends, using his length well to be more than a scorer when he's on the floor. He won't hesitate to defend the paint or roam out to the perimeter and defend guards. Keep an eye on him at Porter Ridge. </p> <p><strong>No. 67 [player_tooltip player_id="848094" first="Marcus" last="Magness"] - 6'0 Point Guard - West Charlotte</strong></p> <p>Magness is already known for what he can do on the offensive end but he gets started by wreaking havoc on the defensive end. He's a prospect that locked up full court all summer for EA Prep and is due to make waves in the West Charlotte rotation in 2020-21 as they've got a talented rotation due to make a splash in the state.</p> <p><strong>No. 71 [player_tooltip player_id="848084" first="Neeko" last="Taylor"] - 6'1 Guard - Farmville Central</strong></p> <p>Taylor was hurt for much of the high school season for Farmville Central but he was back to his usual self on the grassroots scene this past spring/summer, blocking shots and forcing turnovers for his Raising Young Men squad. He'll be a prospect to keep an eye on as a two-way threat at Farmville Central in 2020-21.</p> <p><strong>No. 80 [player_tooltip player_id="577856" first="Davon" last="Jones"] - 6'3 Shooting Guard - Hunt</strong></p> <p>Jones is an emerging prospect in the 2022 class. He's much more than a shooter when he's on the floor, flying around for blocks and pressuring the basketball for steals when he's on the floor. He's got a winner's mentality when he's on the floor where he makes his presence felt and doesn't let up until the game is over. He's one to watch at Hunt in 2020-21.</p> <p><strong>No. 85 [player_tooltip player_id="848078" first="Bryce" last="Scott"] - 6'4 Wing/Forward - Gaston Day</strong></p> <p>Scott was another prospect for EA Prep that stood out with his defense on the grassroots scene alongside [player_tooltip player_id="848094" first="Marcus" last="Magness"]. He's a bruiser type of prospect that uses his strength well to make defenders feel him when he's on the floor. Look for Scott to grow as versatile wing that can act as a primary defender and rebounder on the floor.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
