<p>With the possibility of losing the entire AAU season this year, I will try and mention all 115 juniors ranked. </p>
<p>I like to take a look at my annual “Top-5’s”.</p>
<p>Every player has their 1 skill they usually excel at. </p>
<p>It’s just a fun way to take a look at players’ elite skills in different categories. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We move over to the 13 players who are top-notch glass eaters. These are the players that will give a team only one possession every time down the court with getting essentially every rebound. Very important to winning and losing. </p>
<p>Here are my Top-5:</p>
<p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="809687" first="Zereoue" last="Williams"] (Mountain Pointe) </p>
<p>-A beast inside with a football type of build/frame with good hands. He is aggressive to rebound the ball and is one of the better 6A defenders as well. He is my top rebounder with averaging almost 12 rebounds per game. </p>
<p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="703808" first="Duke" last="Brennan"] (Perry)</p>
<p>-A bigger post player with wider shoulders and a very high motor just got edged out by Williams. Brennan averaged nearly 10 rebounds per game playing next to a 6'11 player. That is impressive. </p>
<p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="703820" first="Grady" last="Lewis"] (Sunnyslope)</p>
<p>-One of the stronger AIA players rebounds the ball at a high level with strong arms and athleticism. </p>
<p>4. [player_tooltip player_id="941624" first="Daryian" last="Matthews"] (Dysart)</p>
<p>-The smallest player on the list has an off the charts motor to rebound. He has good bounce and uses his length and girth to get the ball. </p>
<p>5. [player_tooltip player_id="809683" first="Nicholas" last="Riley"] (Chandler)</p>
<p>-A strong post player has massive hands to rebound the ball and is a highly efficient scorer. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Next-5:</p>
<p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="804764" first="Roy" last="Eze"] (Phhoenix Prep)</p>
<p>-Another strong post player is very hard to move for position to rebound the ball. (If he Preps to 2021) </p>
<p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="932073" first="Marko" last="Milivojevic"] (Dream City Christian) </p>
<p>-The tallest player on the list has legit NBA Center size. He rebounds in his area with good length. </p>
<p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="932154" first="Jaisheldon" last="Yates"] (Sunrise Mountain) </p>
<p>-The newcomer from Mississippi is a load to deal with down low. He has strong hands to rebound. </p>
<p>4. [player_tooltip player_id="809708" first="Demari" last="Hackett"] (Valley Vista)</p>
<p>-A low post strong bodied rebounder can score it from inside and out. </p>
<p>5. [player_tooltip player_id="809707" first="LeRoy" last="Williams"] (Williams Field) </p>
<p>-A physical under the rim type uses his girth to rebound. He should break out for the Black Hawks next year. (Missed season with the transfer rule)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3-more:</p>
<p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="809704" first="Myles" last="Hersha"] (Salpointe Catholic) </p>
<p>-A long and lean player keeps the ball high to rebound and outlets. A nice Tucson sleeper. </p>
<p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="932438" first="Jake" last="Schleifer"] (Trivium Prep)</p>
<p>-The small school standout can score it plus rebound with some length. </p>
<p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="809709" first="Tanner" last="Crawford"] (Mesa) </p>
<p>-A thick post player who rebounds at a good rate in his area and has some springs. He should be very good for the Jackrabbits! </p>
