Voss has been a double-double machine and a highly efficient interior scorer for the last two years for the Indians. He’s back at it again this year, averaging 17.9 points and 12.8 rebounds a game on 52% shooting. A throwback big man with great touch and footwork around the rim, he has excellent, soft hands and does a great job establishing his post position.

Dickerson is raw offensively, but he’s a dynamic defensive player with great timing and instincts as a shot blocker. He rotates well and is a strong help defender who is blocking 2.4 shots a game. He’s a rim-running 6-8 big man with great length who should be on the radar of small schools around the state.
