[More Cowbell]

I have to say Garrison Collins from JBS and Ashley Hatfield from Valley. Garrison is a true big man, and Ashley just has more athleticism than any man his size that I've ever seen play ball in this area, and the scary thing is he will play for 3 more years before he goes to college. I would say Adams is on the list, but he hasn't proven a single thing yet, he hasn't been a threat in the paint since playing for Pikeville and he's listed at 6'10, a big man in EKY that tall should dominate everyone, he hasn't, and Ashley has never been intimidated to bang around down low with him. So my list is Garrison and Hatfield.

With Garrison playing with Clark and Clint, what do you think he will be able to prove this season? How to rebound if the two miss? How to pass the ball back out for them if he does get the rebound? As much as you like to put Shelby Valleys name out in every thread, Ashley is not a big man. He may be the tallest player on Their team, but he is a forward. I do think he is a heck of a player, just not a big man though. You wont put a player on a list who lead the 15th region runner up in field goal percentage, rebounds, and blocked shots?

Both of you guys can make valid arguments for each player, both Adams and Hatfield, and neither has to be wrong.

As for Hatfield, whether he is a big man or not is dependent on what one considers "a big man". Some may only think of centers, others may include forwards, it's all just what you consider the term to include. If you do consider him a big man, he would certainly have to be considered as one of the top guys for this list.

As for Adams, he may not have been dominant last year, but tall guys tend to develop late so he may yet become the best big man in the region. He has not shown the consistency yet in actual games, but that may likely come this year. The potential is definitely there to be an unstoppable force down low.
