Wyatt Bales used his 6-foot-5-inch frame to his best advantage this morning as he showcased defensive, rebounding and scoring talents.

Landry Harris can defend well, shoot, score from mid-range, and lead the floor as he possesses the all-around skill set that all coaches want in a point guard. He can take the ball to the rack out of the dribble and is physical, yet graceful, when taking the ball up. Additionally, he an elite man-to-man defender with sticky fingers and a propensity to steal easy passes.

Colby Onyekuru is a talented, all-around wing who possesses both guard skills and some some inside skills. He rebounds the ball exceptionally well while also yielding great passing abilities. His strength allows him to stretch the floor by tossing cross-court passes to stationary wings for the spot-up shot, but his handle allows him to concentrate the defense by taking the ball inside as well.

Jarrett Birdwell is an athletic forward who can do a lot of things with the basketball. He can score with contact, pass out of the post, and out-rebound opposing forwards. His rim-protecting skills were big for Oklahoma Power in the a.m. as he kept players from scoring and kept the ball in his team’s hands. His ability to defend along the perimeter was also impressive.
