Kareem Rozier (PG, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #6
Rozier is a flat out DOG…..on both ends of the floor. If you aren’t tough, you don’t want to match up against this young man. Rozier will give almost every opponent fits all season.
Chansey Willis Chansey Willis 6'2" | PG Detroit King | 2022 State MI (PG, Detroit King)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #13
Willis definitely has an understanding of the importance of the defensive end. He seems to enjoy the challenge of a tough matchup and responds likewise. Willis will challenge every dribble and every shot.
Charles Turner Charles Turner 6'5" | CG University Of Detroit Jesuit And Academy | 2022 State MI (CG, UD Jesuit)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #14
Let’s face the facts, it’s hard to see the floor at UD Jesuit if you can’t defend. That’s why Turner should see the floor plenty. He plays an very intelligent defensive game and looks to be well schooled on that end.
Robert Davis Jr. Robert Davis Jr. 6'6" | SG Hamtramck | 2022 State MI (SG, Farmington)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #15
It’s fun to watch Davis highlights on the offensive end, but lets not forget about him as a defender. He’s quick, athletic, and aggressively steps into the passing lanes.
Alex Watters Alex Watters 6'1" | CG Lansing Catholic | 2022 State MI (CG, Lansing Catholic)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #24
Watters deserves more publicity as a player and a prospect, and for him it starts on the defensive end. He will make you earn everything you get on offense.
Carson Sanders Carson Sanders 6'5" | CG Hanover Horton | 2022 State MI (CG, Hanover Horton)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #56
Sanders is so valuable on the defensive end. First of all, he can simply shut you down on the perimeter. Secondly, he can defend at least 3 positions at high level.
Chris Boler Chris Boler 5'9" | PG Dearborn ATA | 2022 State MI (PG, Dearborn ATA)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #61
Boler is fast and powerful, and that translates well to his perimeter defense. He can’t be pushed around or bulldogged to the rim, even if his opponents are bigger. Boler’s speed makes almost every perimeter pass a dangerous one.
Jude Drake Jude Drake 6'4" | CG Jalen Rose Leadership Academy | 2022 State MI (CG, Jalen Rose Leadership Academy)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #86
Drake has really made a name for himself over the last year. He has the looks of a leader, especially on defense. Drake keeps a low base and keeps his man in front.
Reichen Lund Reichen Lund 6'6" | CG Linden | 2022 State MI (CG, Linden)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #102
Lund has carved his niche as one of the top perimeter defenders in the state of Michigan. He won’t do it with flash or flare, but with simple results. Lund is simply a lockdown defender.
Jalen Charity Jalen Charity 6'5" | CG Northview | 2022 State MI (CG, Northview)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #105
Charity has the potential to be a true defensive weapon. He has excellent positional size and strength. That combined with his length and smooth feet help him engulf his man.
