There’s about to be a real debate over who the top high school defensive big man is, and right now, it feels like it comes down to Joel Patrick vs. Lewis Uvwo. 2028 C Joel Patrick (@Joelpatr1ck) (6’10”)
A physically imposing rim protector with advanced defensive tools. Patrick combines strength, lateral mobility, and explosive lift, allowing him to guard in space and still dominate inside. He’s quick off the floor, holds his ground against other bigs, and shows impressive range as a shot blocker. His ability to switch and recover makes him incredibly valuable on the defensive end. @PSACardinals 2027 C Lewis Uvwo (@Lewisuvwo1) (6’11”)
An elite rim protector with rare length and timing. Uvwo plays with a nonstop motor and has a natural instinct for blocking shots, anything near the rim is in danger. He anchors the defense, alters countless attempts, and brings a presence that completely changes how opponents attack the paint. @nightrydaselite With all that said, @NikeEYB I need to see this matchup again. @Denzel_Mensah22

Joel Patrick (@Joelpatr1ck) the 6-10 center for @PSACardinals might be the best rim protector on the circuit. His rim protection and deterrence was amazing versus whynot.
