<p class="text-gray-700">Majestic McNeal prioritizes getting stops on defense. Whether it's swatting away a shot or always putting a hand up, McNeal is on the job. Averaging 2.3 steals per game this season, Majestic has put the clamps on his matchup. McNeal slides his feet quickly and knows when to hedge certain screens coming his way. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1848642' first='Ben' last='Sittler'] is a pass-first point guard who is one of the most selfless guys on the floor. Sittler poses his will guarding the perimeter, accumulating approximately 2.7 steals per game on the year. Also leading his team in PPG (15.7), Sittler is the crux of Sanford's gameplan and an all around talent that makes a difference on both ends of the ball. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Dey Tacha is Limon's leader on defense, providing them with high levels of intensity and unmatched energy. Efficiency is the main narrative for Tacha, coming away with 10.3 PPG, 3 RPG and 2.3 SPG this season. Drey still has room to grow coming into his final season, and he'll be a name to pay close attention to this summer. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Christian Garcia brings to the table exactly what every coach desires. A determined rebounder and a nosy defender striving for steals, Garcia intensifies the game and provides hustle wherever he is on the hardwood. Approximating 10 points a game, 10 rebounds a game, and 3.2 steals, what else could you ask for? </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Reid Sprague is a force to be reckoned with, carrying Holyoke and leading his team in virtually every statistic. The 6'2 shooting guard never lets off the gas pedal and puts forth his utmost effort defending his matchup. Putting up three steals a game comes naturally for Sprague, as his hands are always up and in between passing lanes. </p>
