2011-2012 Impact Freshmen: #8 Khem Birch

Today's impact Freshmen is penis the second Canadian that we've seen. Khem Birch spent this year in the same state is the NSHL for a prep year at Notre Dame Prep. The 6'9 Canadian Colossus is the best defensive big man in this class hands down. Rivals put Birch in the 2012 rankings for some reason and have him as number 4 there. ESPN has him at the 11 spot. Birch is an absolute animal on defense and a beast on the boards. The Pittsburgh signee will flourish in the transition game and is extremely effective cutting to the hoop. I picture Birch as a smaller Hasheem Thabeet that actually has skill on offense to back it up. I just hope Khem won't foul anyone off a free throw with a second left in the game and the lead.
