I love watching defense, so Zickert is a great player to start with for that. I’ve seen him flat out win games with his perimeter D. He doesn’t just get stops. Zickert is strong enough and aggressive enough to physically dominate opposing guards.

Zickert has shown very real growth in his game over the years. He’s a next level perimeter defender and I say that with no hesitation. Zickert is very strong physically and he uses it well to stifle opposing ball handlers. Defense wins championships and he will give you championship D.

Zickert has been testing himself with an A+ schedule with the Midwest Stampede North team. He’s seen top talent from all over the midwest and you can see that it has slowed the game down for him moving to high school ball. Zickert has the ability to touch paint off the drive and make plays from there. He looked really good when he hit 2 feet in the lane and made good decisions with the ball as to whether to kick or finish. Zickert started to recognize when or if there was a double lane and attacked it when he saw it. This young man looks prepared for a huge senior season.

We’ve been focusing on some college level skills that players on the roster have, so let’s look at Zickert’s perimeter D. I haven’t seen many or any guards get up on their opponent and pressure the ball like he does and did this weekend. Zickert and his gritty defense drew the praise of opposing coaches.

Zickert is a player that I’ve covered for about half a decade now. He showed 2 weeks ago that he can be an absolute force on the defensive end of the floor. His physicality and relentlessness on the defensive end really frustrates opponents. Zickert has the ability to defend 1 on 1 the length of the floor.
