2022 Rankings: Top Centers
In this article:
<p>We recently updated our Senior class rankings and it’s time to highlight certain players by position group. Here’s a look at the top Centers in the updated 2022 rankings.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1201517" first="Evan" last="Frederick"], Southern - A floor stretching big man at 6'9, Evan has improved his athleticism and agility in the past year or so. Frederick has a good skill level and is a scoring threat out to 25 feet but sometimes settles for threes too often. If he keeps improving at the rate he has over the last 18 months, Evan could be a D1 player at the next level.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1009763" first="Gavin" last="Allen"], Lynn Camp - Allen is another big who has transformed his body over the years and has become much more mobile than he once was. A throwback 5 man, Gavin is a solid rebounder and does a good job of protecting the rim without fouling. He should be on the radar for any and all in state schools looking for a big man.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="801619" first="Lionel" last="Kumwinba"], Dunbar - Lionel has continued to improve over his time with the Bulldogs and his skills have started catching up with his raw ability. Kumwinba has gotten more comfortable playing with his back to the basket and is going to have to be an offensive option for Dunbar this season as they've lost a couple of players to transfer and injuries.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1262013" first="Isaac" last="Garang"], Fern Creek - Garang started making a name for himself during the summer basketball season and is riding some momentum into the season. While he's not a true center right now, he plays primarily on the block and as a rim protector and rebounder on the defensive end. His ability to guard multiple positions should help Fern Creek and also possibly carve out a role at the next level.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1207566" first="Xavier" last="Zubric"], Atherton - If you're looking for buzz words like length, athleticism and upside, Zubric has all of those in spades. The issue thus far is that Zubric has not been able to stay on the court. If he can stay on the floor for Atherton, he will make them MUCH better. Several schools showed interest in him this summer and the 6'8 big man could be the type to go to Juco and thrive.</p>
