High School Preview: 2022 All-State Rim Protectors
Now let’s look at the sophomore class and their preseason All-State Rim Protectors.
Carter Diedrich Carter Diedrich 6'7" | C Ida | 2023 State MI (C, Ida)
Diedrich has so much upside as a post prospect. This includes on the defensive end. He has super soft feet and moves so well defensively.
Maxxin Guinn Maxxin Guinn 6'9" | C Romeo | 2023 MI (C, Romeo)
Guinn eats space in the lane and it difficult for opponents to maneuver. When he gets in position and uses his strength, he’s a game changer.
Tim Jordan Tim Jordan 6'7" | PF Saginaw Arthur Hill | 2023 TX (PF, Saginaw Arthur Hill)
Jordan is so smooth and athletic in the paint. He can play defense above the rim and block shots regularly. Jordan can be a nightmare for guards driving the lane.
Chris Jackson Chris Jackson 6'4" | PF White Pigeon | 2023 State MI (PF, White Pigeon)
Jackson isn’t as much of a vertical or above the rim defender as some of these prospects, but that’s not what it’s all about. He gets the job done and gets stops in the paint.
John McCrear (PF, Ypsilanti-Lincoln)
McCrear really broke out late last high school season and there’s no reason to believe that his growth won’t continue. He dominates the glass and severely limits second chance opportunities for the other team.
Donovan McDonald Donovan McDonald 6'7" | PF Croswell-Lexington | 2023 State MI (PF, Croswell-Lexington)
McDonald has a really big upside as a post defender. He’s long and bouncy, which allows him to engulf his man in the lane. As he adds thickness, his game will continue to skyrocket.
Peyton Rummler Peyton Rummler 6'7" | PF Stoney Creek | 2023 State MI (PF, Stoney Creek)
Rummler can make big plays on the defensive end. Hew extends high and does a nice job of challenging shooters and players cutting to the lane.
Grady Schippers Grady Schippers 6'5" | PF Allendale | 2023 State MI (PF, Allendale)
Schippers, in my opinion, has star talent and potential. He moves well on defense and has the size and strength to go with it.
Xavier Thomas Xavier Thomas 6'6" | PF Brother Rice | 2023 State MI (PF, Brother Rice)
Thomas is an elite post player in Michigan. He’s done a nice job of creating a niche in his game. Thomas is known for his grit and toughness and this parlays into a solid defensive game.
