Braden Hicks has prototyipcal shooting guard size at 6’4” and has the athleticism to make college coaches jump out of their seat. Hicks does not have a college offer yet, but seems to be on the cusp of being offered. Panhandle State University, Bethal College, and Oklahoma Christian have all shown interest in the 2016 Shooting Guard.
“My goals for this upcoming season are to get some offers, become one of the better players in 6A, and lead by example on and off the court,” said Hicks. “My team goals are to win tournaments, win games, and make it far in the playoffs.”
Hicks has been working hard on his craft this Summer. He has been shooting hundreds of shots everyday, working on his dribbling, and has seen real progress on his touch around the rim. He also wants to become a better individual defender.
Hicks has plenty of strengths including his athleticism, his length, and he crashes the boards with energy. With improvement on his shot and defense Hicks should become the total package at the college level.
Hicks is not a one trick pony he also is getting looks for high jump in track. He can already jump 6’4” and with a 40-inch vertical it is no wonder he can jump that high. If you have not got a chance to see him play, stop by Choctaw for some excitement this season.
