These are some of the best big men in their class and have proven it over the final stretch of July. They play big inside, are involved on both ends and help their squads establish a physical presence down low.   [player_tooltip player_id='1798145' first='Jakari' last='Singleton'] Reardan | Bulit4Ball   He's a hard worker who can fill the gaps up front with his tenacious rebounding, rim defense, and the occasional bucket inside. He's not necessarily a focal point offensively, but he's efficient with hist touches inside, both shooting over defenders and getting second-chance shots up quick with a fast second jump. He exudes hustle and will be a player to watch with Reardan this winter.   [player_tooltip player_id='1450982' first='Gelonni' last='“JuJu” Ervin'] Garfield | Beauchamp Elite   Ervin has really taken off this AAU season and continues to show improvements in his game. He's fully embraced life around the rim as a high-flying rim-running athlete who follows shots with power and attacks opposing shots to rack up blocks. He's also shown a lot of refinement in his game, both working with patience from the blocks, and showing some more consistency with his midrange jumper. He's looking real comfortable heading into his senior year and should be one of the top players in the state this winter.   [player_tooltip player_id='1631542' first='Barry' last='Morrissette'] Sammamish | Sammamish Select   A big riser from the spring season, Morrissette ended the summer strong with Sammamish Select. He's a kid who thrives in his role with strong finishing at the rim, good passes out of doubles in the post, and works tirelessly to get up and down the court. He also showed some good recognition to take slower bigs off the dribble from outside when big lanes opened up.   [player_tooltip player_id='1598394' first='Dominik' last='Robinson'] Rainier Beach | NW Rotary Rebels   Had a solid showing at the Peach Jam in the PIT, shooting 52.9% from the field. He showed good awareness to deploy different moves from various depths in the post. Setting up defenders with inside moves before spinning baseline and getting the angle at the hoop. He also showed he can face up, make a move off the bounce and then initiate contact to create space and finish. He scored 10+ points three times and pulled in eight rebounds twice.

These are some of the best big men in their class and have proven it over the final stretch of July. They play big inside, are involved on both ends and help their squads establish a physical presence down low.
