Continue ReadingHopefully, despite the pandemic, high school season will soon be tipping off. In anticipation, let’s look at some of the top senior rim protectors this season.
Lola Chambers Lola Chambers 6'0" | PF West Bloomfield | 2021 State MI (PF, West Bloomfield)
Chambers is such a high IQ defender. She understands the defensive end and what it takes to stop an opponent.
Megan Crow Megan Crow 6'4" | C Gladstone | 2021 State MI (C, Gladstone)
With Crow’s height and length, going through or over top are non-options. She’s an absolute game changer with her skill set on D.
Emily Dixon Emily Dixon PF Chippewa Valley | 2021 State MI (PF, Chippewa Valley)
Dixon has a huge upside on the defensive end as a prospect. When she walls up, offensive players have a really tough time finding the rim.
Evie Doezema Evie Doezema 6'2" | C Grand Rapids Christian | 2022 State MI (C, Grand Rapids Christian)
Doezema is a prime time defender. If you need a big stop late in the game, Doezema is the kind of player you want. She never takes a defensive posession off.
AJ Ediger AJ Ediger 6'3" | PF Hamilton | 2021 State #54 Nation MI (PF, Hamilton)
Ediger gets down the floor so quick that opponents rarely pick up easy buckets. She understands help defense and has incrediblt quick feet in the paint.
Mya Hiram Mya Hiram 6'0" | PF Onsted | 2021 State MI (PF, Onsted)
Hiram is underrated sometimes as a defender. She uses her strength to dominate under the rim. Hiram can control where and when her opponent moves under the rim.
Krystina Kasson Krystina Kasson 6'1" | C Kalamazoo Hacket | 2021 State MI (C, Kalamazoo Hackett)
Watch out for Kasson this season. She’s going to have a huge impact, and I believe that will be exemplified on the defensive end. Teams will absolutely have to be aware of where she is on every possession.
Nicole Kamin Nicole Kamin PF Escanaba | 2021 State MI (PF, Escanaba)
Kamin plays really good vertical defense, making the other team take the longest path to the rim. She moves well horizontally in the paint.
Jakayra McCarty Jakayra McCarty 5'11" | PF Detroit King | 2021 State MI (PF, Detroit King)
McCarty could be the top post defender in the PSL this season. All the athletic tools are there for her to have a huge season on the defensive end.
Alanna Micheaux Alanna Micheaux 6'2" | PF Wayne Memorial | 2021 State MI (C, Wayne Memorial)
When Micheaux steps on the court, she let’s it be known that she owns the lane. She excels in a physical game in the interior, which bodes well for her at the next level.
Kendall Robertson Kendall Robertson 6'2" | PF Lake Orion | 2021 State MI (PF, Lake Orion)
Robertson is, in my opinion, underrated at the defensive end. She doesn’t need the flash and flare on D, she just gets good old fashioned stops.
Ally VanTimmeren Ally VanTimmeren 6'2" | PF Jenison | 2021 State #87 Nation MI (PF, Jenison)
VanTimmeren might have the highest defensive basketball IQ in the state of Michigan. She knows where to be and when to be there at all times. She’ll have an instant impact defensively at the next level.
Shannon Wheeler Shannon Wheeler 6'1" | PF Detroit Renaissance | 2021 State MI (PF, Detroit Renaissance)
Wheeler is the primary defensive post prescience on one of the most talented teams in Michigan. Her versatility and wide range of skills allows her to protect the rim with the best of them.
