<p><strong>A-Town Showdown: 17U Top Rebounders</strong></p>
<p><strong>2022 6-3 PF Ramzee Hood – AYSA Panthers</strong></p>
<p>Slightly undersized, but big burly presence inside. Uses his strength to make up for lack of height. Rebounds in traffic and boxes out. Big body plays hard.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-5 C Joshua Heess – COD Elite</strong></p>
<p>Sticks on the offensive glass. Not an elite athlete, but is able to high point rebounds and finish with a soft touch inside. Keeps the ball high when finishing. Understands his role and sticks to doing what he does best. Reliable garbage guy.</p>
<p><strong>2021 6-4 F Jaycob Rodriguez – North Florida Elite</strong></p>
<p>Wide shoulders and physically strong. Has soft hands inside. Can attack off the dribble from the high post. Uses his frame to clear out space and rebound. Has a quick second leap to clean up misses. Good nose for the ball.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-8 C [player_tooltip player_id="1192662" first="Zaquien" last="Whitehead"] – Tri-City Elite</strong></p>
<p>Still developing, hasn’t yet reached his potential. Uses his size to rebound in a crowd. Runs the floor. Has room for growth with quickness inside. Can play above the rim and draws contact down low.</p>
<p><strong>2021 6-5 F Eliyah Stevens – Atlanta Select Elite</strong></p>
<p>Rugged forward goes and gets the ball. Plays with a mean streak inside. Crashes the glass hard on both ends. Scores through defenders inside. Lunch pail and hard hat type of guy.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-6 W [player_tooltip player_id="1192663" first="Mekhi" last="Witter"] – Georgia Vision</strong></p>
<p>Athletic and aggressive when it matters most. Will find a way to secure rebounds. Goes and gets the ball in traffic with great effort. Can battle to keep the ball alive before finally tipping it to himself. Is a strong finisher around the rim. Scores with either hand and converts tough reverses. Versatile piece.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-5 F Rashaad Frye – Tri-City Elite</strong></p>
<p>Interesting forward that scores in and out. Uses a power backdown to put opponents in the rim. Consistent double-double threat. Can step outside and shoot the three.</p>
