Evan Mobley<\/a>: The Rancho Christian (Temecula, Calif.) high school star is a consensus top three ranked player in the country, and while his fluidity, athleticism and ball skills also make him a must-see player, his biggest long-term impact might be on the defensive end of the floor. The 7-foot forward has impressive anticipation skills when contesting and blocking shots at the rim. Mobley is quick off of the floor with his first jump, and in the rare case he bites on a shot fake, his ability to recover into his second jump is what makes him such a menace around the basket. The USC-bound senior can hedge and recover when or switch onto a guard and contain when put into high ball-screen action. Mobley's most impressive defensive attribute is his ability to not only block shots, but control them and keep them in play to give his team an extra possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
