Big Shots Myrtle Beach Tip Off: Rim Protectors

<p>The defensive anchors were out in full force at Big Shots Myrtle Beach Tip Off. Here's a look at some of the top rim protectors from the event.</p> <p><strong>Charles Bediako | 6’11 Forward/Center | IMG National | 2021</strong></p> <p>The University of Michigan is getting quite the rim protector in Charles Bediako. He showed he’s quite the defender in the paint that others can feee off of. He’s a fluid shot blocker and hard to score against.</p> <p><strong>Brandon Murray | 6’4 Guard | IMG National | 2021</strong></p> <p>Murray continues to show why LSU was in close pursuit of his services given his ability to chase down blocks and start the fastbreak on his own. He’s one of those guys that is fearless on defense, making him a tough opponent to score on, especially around the rim.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="531243" first="Benny" last="Williams"] | 6’8 Guard/Wing | IMG National | 2021</strong></p> <p>Time and time again, Williams came out of nowhere to make a timely block and show off his athleticism. He’ll be a strong addition to the Syracuse rotation, given his length and ability to do multiplw things.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="985568" first="Jonathan" last="Kurtas"] | 6’10 Forward/Center | Lake Norman Christian | 2021</strong></p> <p>College coaches in need of a traditional big that runs the floor, communicates and anchors the defense, look no further than [player_tooltip player_id="985568" first="Jonathan" last="Kurtas"]. Kurtas is due for a big senior season as the rim protector and defensive anchor at Lake Norman Christian.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="985980" first="Shad" last="Thomas"] | 6’6 Forward | Mount Airy Select | 2021</strong></p> <p>Thomas was a new face in the Mt. Airy Select rotation and showed off his ability to swat shots at a high volume. He’s got solid timing that allowed him to play paint protector all weekend long.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1057406" first="Chance" last="Morrow"] | 6’4 Guard/Wing | Wonders Elite | 2022</strong></p> <p>Morrow is an electric two-way threat that isn’t afraid to mix it up at the rim and in the paint. He’s another one of those prospects that flies around for blocks and makes his presence felt as a shot blocker. He’ll be fun to watch at West Charlotte in 2020-21.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
