Gregg and Bruce’s Best: Top 30 WC Rim Protectors

It’s been a strange year, to say the least, however, I happen to be one of the fortunate ones. With many states canceling or postponing their high school seasons, players have fled to greener pastures. Luckily for me, I’ve been able to see tons of prospects, allowing me to identify players with the top skill sets. In this article, I partnered with my Arizona Colleague, Gregg Rosenberg in search of our top rim protectors, guys who excel at altering and blocking shots. In this article, we rank our top 30 Rim Protectors.
