<p>Today, we'll wrap up our <em>Positional Breakdown</em> series with a look at the <em>centers</em>.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>By numbers, this is the smallest positional group in this class, with just 21 prospects ranked. However, there's a lot of talent here, with at least ten of those 21 considered scholarship level prospects. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>At the top, it's <em>CATS Academy's</em> <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2341319' first='Nicolas' last='Mitrovic']</em></strong>. A late addition to the 2026 class, Mitrovic impressed this winter with his two-way motor, shot making abilities, and rim protection. He'll take his talents to the ACC in the fall when he goes to <strong><em>Cal</em></strong>.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Wooley, a forward out of <em>Choate Rosemary Hall</em> in Connecticut, checks in at <strong><em>#4</em></strong> among the centers and <strong><em>#32</em></strong> overall. The 6'9" big man is a plus athlete that has a great feel for the game as a decision maker, particularly when playing out of the high post. He does a good job of finding his scoring within the flow of the offense, can make shots from behind the arc, and is a high level finisher around the rim. Defensively, he's capable of guarding on the perimeter in switching actions, rebounds it in traffic, and is capable of protecting the rim both as an on-ball defender and from the help side. Wooley will continue his academic and athletic careers at <strong><em>Yale</em></strong>.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Mordini, a forward out of the <em>Avon Old Farms School</em> in Connecticut, checks in at <strong><em>#6</em></strong> among the centers and <strong><em>#47</em></strong> overall. Mordini is an athletic 6'11" big man with plus length and impressive fluidity of movement. He's an elite finisher around the rim, is a quick second jumper, and does a great job of chasing down offensive rebounds. He has the ability to operate as a roll guy or pop man out of screens and can consistently knock down threes out of catch and shoot situations. Beyond that, he does a great job of cleaning up on the defensive glass and is a high level shot blocker, both on the ball and from the help side. Mordini has yet to announce his future plans.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Mabilon, a forward out of the <em>Canterbury School</em> in Connecticut, checks in at <strong><em>#11</em></strong> among the centers and <strong><em>#85</em></strong> overall. Mabilon helped lead <em>Canterbury</em> to an appearance in the NEPSAC B Large championship game. He has good positional size, plus length, and impressed this winter with his willingness to play physically in the paint. He's developed into a strong defender, capable of shutting things down around the rim and keeping the ball in front of him on the perimeter, while also showing the ability to initiate the break with strong outlet passes. As a scorer, he's really strong as a cutter, can turn over either shoulder on the block, and does a nice job of making shots in the mid-range. Mabilon has yet to announce his future plans.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Miller, a forward out of the <em>St. Paul's School</em> in New Hampshire, checks in at <strong><em>#13</em></strong> among the centers and <strong><em>#109</em></strong> overall. A high motor big man, the 6'7" Miller has broad shoulders and a strong base, both of which aid him as a playmaker and finisher in the paint. He does a great job of using his strength to carve out space against larger defenders and also shows the ability to attack closeouts, put defenders on his hip, and score through contact at the rim. He's a tough two-way rebounder, moves his feet well enough defensively to guard on the perimeter, and does a nice job of not giving up easy looks at the rim. Miller will continue his academic and athletic careers at <strong><em>Wesleyan</em></strong>.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Munger, a forward out of <em>Bellows Free Academy - St. Albans</em> in Vermont, checks in at <strong><em>#19</em></strong> among the centers and <strong><em>#260</em></strong> overall. At 6'10", Munger stood out every time he took the floor in Vermont this winter. He's strong on the defensive end of the floor, where his size and length serve as an asset both as a rim protector and rebounder. He covers ground quickly with long strides and does a nice job of rotating from the help side to block shots. Offensively, he's a big target to throw the ball into in the paint, runs the floor hard in transition, and is capable of scoring in a variety of ways with his back to the basket. Munger has yet to announce his future plans.</p>
